Wetland promenade extension proposal

This extension proposal began by thinking of how the rooms/gallery spaces were to be experienced. Instead of all the rooms being accessed by the original central stairwell, they were reorganized into a “sequence of galleries” via the new external circulation extension, which wrapped around the original house’s perimeter. As a result, visitors are no longer confined within closed spaces but weave between the galleries and the scenery of the adjacent wetland, blurring inside and outside.

“Wetland promenade” was an extension to a preexisting stilt-house situated by a wetland. The brief was to present a design scheme to convert the house into a gallery space, however, I do not believe a mere interior operation was sufficient for such a transformation. I was concerned about how the rooms/gallery spaces were to be experienced as a whole, since their composition was never for that purpose. This led to the idea of reorganizing the rooms into a “linear sequence of gallery spaces” via an extension. The intended experience was cultivated intellectually and thus able to be comprehended and experienced by all.
