Philosophy statement explaining
How
light influenced the form of the building
I
oriented my building to be perpendicular to the light and follow the east/west
curve so that it can easily be bent to my whim,
How
you selected your site
Green=Site Plan
The
site I chose was located in an area which orientated to leisure and relaxation
while being along a major pedestrian circulation path within the campus
How
the design mediated the contextual conflict between orientation of the built
environment and the natural environment
I oriented the basic rooms to coincide with the
campus and face the path it branch off of to create space. I also ensured the
chapels orientated towards the sun in order to bend light to allow me to bend
it.
