PROJECT 3: Beginning village concept


A sketch of my village where the entire face is almost covered in vegetation. The ground(village) splits through the middle as if trying to disrupt the serenity of a tropical forest, yet the vegetation continues smoothly across the surfaces.

The inspiration for my village stems from Kinta Village, West Malaysia. It is a limestone crevice with vegetation sprawling over the edge and actually continuing along the walls.

PROJECT 3: One Point Perspective and Process



Eye level:




Interdependent and Dominant.





Active and Elongated.






Dormant and constricted.

PROJECT 2: Final Model

A light texture has been applied to the skins of the vertical walls, allowing it to emphasise the porosity of the elements in this structure.

Vertical growing stems surround the bases that connect with the landform, serving to show the connection between nature and the structure.

The darker texture takes over the main platforms and bases to bring attention to them.


"Eliminating the artificial, bringing/pulling in the natural and allowing it to move its surroundings." 
The structure is almost completely open to allow nature to move in, the concept enforced in Kengo Kuma's designs. The structure is also able to interact with nature in this way, which is the concept of Alva Aalto.

The landform is constrained to show a close connection the structure has with the entire form and nature itself.

PROJECT 2: Textures

Chosen textures:


A light texture that relates easily to the molecular porosity in the skin of natural organisms.

An averagely shaded texture that portrays the roughness of natural substances.


A dark texture, with heavy shadows that expresses depth.
