Birds Paradise

Project type | Academic Studio | SARC 6210 Pr. Katie Stranix Year | 2021 Fall Program | Observation Hill, Charllotesville ography of the site. Forecasting the water showing the circulations and the activities

A program that is designed to cooperate with both architecture design and landscape design. A site in the mountainous landscape was selected to place the architecture.

The landscape is being reformed and led by the water flow that leads visitors to go through both pond, glasshouse, and the bird observation tower. While experiencing the hierarchical differences, people can also explore different micro-climate shaped by the transformed landscape features.

Architecture shapes, dome, floor plates, and shelve shapes are responding to the landscape of the site. Not only to fit into the environment, but also to highlight the natural-inviting characteristic of this project.
