PRECEDENT

Literary Precedent

Void framed the Mass

Connecting The Void

Design Precedent where the river runs....

Mass among the Void The literary precedent diagram explains the void design will frame and accentuate mass, also lend more weight to the mass area.

Mass reflects a place to hide, represent danger or security. Void is an open area that reflects either exposure or opportunity. (David, K. 2017. Design Outside the Box)

The project Where The River Runs raised the certain topography height to form the gentle hills and valley.

Using the river flowing form to cut into the landscape that creates a walkway for visitors to pass various landscape formations, like a narrow shore, natural cave, or high cliffs.

My design is inspired by the undulating landscape formation. 5
