Section 2 highlights the process of taking natural elements such as living organisms, water or geology from around a site as metaphoric inspirations, and working with them towards a design solution in order to generate forms, as well as space, which relate back to the natural environment of a site.

Contents

Section 1 describes how the use of simplicity within design helps to create a calming and sensory experience without dominating the surrounding context or nature.

Section 3 illustrates the use of crystalline forms, structure, material and light as a whole composition in helping to unfold a romantic expressionism along with a revealing of hope in other forms. Section 4 outlines how form, hierarchy of space, light and shadow help in choreographing a journey for users to experience the various levels of emotional impact as they transit through/ between spaces.

Section 5 identifies how simple detailed connections have the ability to inform the whole.

Epilogue

As a person, I adore the simplicity in basic everyday life, and I observed that the excitement increase as the level of complexity increase. However, I think there is a limitation of complexity to which every human can handle.

Self-fulfilment needs

realizing one's own potential, being creative

Futuristic, or Innovative Design approach

self-esteem, self-respect, self-confidence, and recognition by others

Social needs

Organic Design Approach

Be respectful to the existing nature

Preface

To what extend???

Egotistic needs

group acceptance, friendship, and belonging

Need for security Simple Design Approach Need for survival air, food, and shelter

(Apologies to Maslow)

The Simplicity of Shelter

Section 1 describes how the use of simplicity within design helps to create a calming and sensory experience without dominating the surrounding context or nature.

The Simplicity of Shelter

Simplicity, carried to the extreme, becomes elegance. ~ Jon Franklin

Street view of a row of monolithic brick terraced houses (current studio - Let's Dense) 7

The use of a symmetrical geometric structure (plan and form), with the repetition of patterns mirrored around a central axis, in order to create a harmonious rhythm.

Floor plan Scale 1:100

Shelter Design Model Inspired by Abraham Maslow's theory - "hierarchy of needs" Each layer of pattern is an interpretation of each hierarchy of needs

Scale 1:100

The use of the minimal type of materials (brick and timber) to express simplicity.

However, as every human being is different to the next, it is impossible for one piece of Architecture to offer the same experience to all. With this as a backdrop, it is the interaction with the surrounding landscape, geographical and social, which can create a piece of harmony which everyone can relate to in some small way – physically and/ or emotionally.

Epilogue

Composing this portfolio of Architecture has pushed me to continually investigate and define the concept of “beauty” within Architecture. The search for inclusivity of special sequencing arrangements between functions/ programmes, as well as both the aesthetic and tectonic, with an overall aim of creating surprise and excitement with each encounter with Architecture – an Architecture which captures and engages the body, mind and spirit.

“Every basic piece of architecture should at least have a scene that captures the heart of all users through a combination of not only physically seen elements yet also the unseen ones.” (This Architecture Portfolio is dedicated to my Father.)
