Brief
After I had a little bit of research on google and I watched a few issuu projects, I've came to the idea that I need to develop my ideas through more primary and secondary research and photos, so I will go and take some photos for more inspiration of my chosen area.
All the features of architecture that I will be experimenting in this project will mainly focus on the architecture style called urban farming. To understand why I choose this type of architecture, I asked myself "what would bring people together in a healthy environmental place?" The answer is easy, taking a place that is not really in use and is destroying the good environmental atmosphere and making it a nice place to be in, where you can have fun, learn something new, relax at a nice café and have horse riding lessons.
I have decided to research and design a farm and a zone for people to relax in this area of the park as I think it will attract a lot of children with their parents as the zone is surrounded by schools, also any people are welcomed to come here.

All am I going to do, is to take it to another level, so people will have activities and children will have playgrounds.
Information about the location
• Whether it's watching mountain bikes hurtle around the specially constructed track, taking in the tranquil views from its vantage point, enjoying a picnic alongside the lake, keeping an eye on kids playing at the scramble area, or simply watching the wildlife. An excellent location, a moderate hill with play areas and easy trails to the west, the Ingrebourne River and its reedbeds to the east, and lakes to the south. From its centre, the hill offers fantastic views across the Thames.
We developed two 'flight routes' to symbolises the area's aviation background, allowing for the correct development of a good grass sward and extra options for planting a variety of animal habitats. Visitors may now enjoy the improved beauty and wildlife on Ingrebourne Hill, which includes 4km of walkways and linkages to the nearby Hornchurch Country Park.
The collaboration between IVL and the Forestry Commission permitted the development of a restoration strategy that allowed this abandoned land to be converted into a country park and give an informal entrance to the greater green belt countryside of South Essex.
The restoration work enhanced the soil quality, laying the groundwork for the creation of a suitable environment for tree and shrub planting. Following this, a sufficient entrance for the general public was developed to offer amenity usage and animal protection. Despite initial difficulties caused by the uneven and reactive character of areas of the ground, there are now established forest blocks throughout the park.
Movement and flow
Typically, colour’s that are calm relativelyand cool are utilised to depict the theme andmovementofflow.
I have chose to focus on the subject of movement and flow for my research topic. I will attempt to use the idea that my building will be surrounded by landscaped gardens, as it is in a park, into my theme of movement and flow in order to create an interesting structure.
More writing
I selected these images because I believe they would be very useful when I begin developing my architecture.

Organic form
I think the theme, organic form is intriguing and that it fits my construction ideas very well.
Since they are all part of the theme organic form , I may play with a variety of items that are in my immediate environment to create models

Café research
inside green, this cafe suits the organic form idea quite well.
I find this cafe to be really peaceful, and I particularly appreciate the colours palette chosen in the interior
