EX 2 : Pipe Dreams

Architecture Core Studio 1
Feb 2022

Methodology

The intent was to create a big volume of space for contemplation, with an opening at the cliff edge as the main focal point of the space.

The main cavity (based on piped geometries) has a graduated descend to allow visitors to have a seat at any point. Skylights around the perimeter of the space help to gently illuminate the place, and allow for rainwater to fall through, and down the centre of the space.

There is no dictated route to take around the space, only for them to find their place.Visitors should be able to sit comfortably in the space, enjoying the view through the skylights or the opening at the cliff edge.
