Summer 9am

Temperature | Hot and cold areas of concrete lawn were mapped using a gradient, with blue indicating cold areas and red indicating warm areas. Shown above is the temperature of the area during Summer.

Sun/Shade | Shadows cast at 9am, 1pm and 5pm by buildings and vegetation were mapped.

Shown above are shadows mapped during Summer.

Plan | Scale 1:2

Frame/Grid | This frame and grid model was inspired by shapes of Tetris blocks using balsa wood, tracing paper and flexi foamboard. A delicate model was created, though it could’ve been improved by extending all columns to the ground to create different levels of transparency.

LANDFORMING

Landforming | Stepping was the dominant operation in my model. Inspiration for the curved stepping was taken from the Pink and White Terraces that were once in New Zealand. The balsa wood structure subtracts into the land and creates seperation between the man-made and natural stepping.

Plan | Scale 1:2

Disjunction | The solid curvilinear shapes of the landform contrasts with the light frame structure above it. This model presents a narrative of how man-made structures impact the land, symbolised by the light balsa wood structure creating a rift in the landform.

SPACIO-TEMPORAL NARRATIVE | OCCUPY

This narrative explored the conventions that go with occupying space and how they would be altered if aliens occupied our spaces.

Alien Space | As the alien narrative explored the idea of ‘alien’ ways of occupying space, this model aimed to convey the idea of Concrete Lawn as an ‘alien’ space in which the conventions of walking through and gathering in the space are changed. There is sloping and stepping in the landforms, but they are not made for a specific program. Two levels of tall broken frames would tower over occupants while columns create obstacles for pedestrians, eliminating the convention of walking through the wide path in the centre and forcing people to navigate their own path. With more time, subtractions would be made in the land to create more obstacles for pedestrians and also for people to occupy.
