Plans, Sections, Sketches, Models...
Today was full of Inspiration, Knowledge and Ideas. The class started off with an informative lecture about Disaster Responsive Architecture, which highlighted the different aspects we should be thinking about while designing these floating structures to resist disasters.
After which we presented our work. We as a group managed to produce multiple conceptual plans working out the zoning and arrangement of the spaces in relation to the lagoon context and island location. We utilized the existing zones of the island to locate our harbor and sea sports zones to collaborate and connect with each other. Furthermore identified the depths of the lagoon area and designated possible aquacultre and salt harvesting zones. The residential, communal and commercial zones were located more towards the centre.
We tested the stability and structure of our floating houses through model experiments in a tank of water. We progressed towards developing a stable and functional hull and increased the scale of our models as we kept achieving successful models on smaller scales. However, there is still room for more ideas and opportunities.
Lastly our sectional diagrams created to represent social and spacial interactions as well as the main abstract functionality of the settlement with the island in terms of economy, accommodation and environment.
Next up is more models on larger scales and more worked out values of our main income source alongside more detailed spatial graphics.
