Major project: Initial ideas

 For this term my first idea is a park because I would like to incorporate nature in my project. I want nature to be at the center of my architectural design. I want my project to be eco-friendly and for that my inspiration is Carl Theodor Sorensen who is one of the most famous landscape architect of the 20th century. he is my inspiration  because all his projects are eco-friendly 

Oval Community Garden 

The Oval Community Garden is one of his most prominent projects and I like it because the composition of the garden is beautifully made in oval shapes which are not organised in a particular disposition.  it is more randomly organised. Each slot being made of grass as wall limiting is an amazing sustainable idea to conserve nature and make the most out of it. 

My second idea is to create a playground out of eco-friendly material. so that the children will play in a safe environment without any worries from parents. an example of eco-friendly material will be wood, bamboo, stainless steel and recycled plastic.

Eunine Fay Jones - Research

E. Fay Jones was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, USA on January 31, 1921. He spent his childhood in the rural Ozark Mountains, where he gained love for nature and the environment, which had an impact on his architectural designs later in life. After completing his studies at Rice University, he joined Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural practice, Taliesin Associated Architects, as an apprentice. He worked closely with Wright on several projects, including the renowned Taliesin West in Arizona (Compton, 2023). Fay Jones E. Fay Jones is famous for his natural architectural style, which includes integrating buildings with the environment, using materials like stone and wood, and incorporating geometric shapes inspired by nature. "Jones ignored architectural trends and instead focused on his own organic aesthetic with materials found in The Ozarks and familiar traditional forms from his home region"(mariathuroczy, 2013) .  One of his design that has inspired me for this project...

Ideas Development - The Object lesson

 For this task, we continued developing the initials idea we worked on last week to make them stronger. To do that we chose objects to help us expand our Ideas. The first step was to observe the object and answer questions such as "what does it make me think of" "does it have texture" " how can I adapt it to my initial idea". Then the second step was to write down all the associations with the object.  I chose two objects for this exercise which were a ceramic house and an old piece of wood.  The ceramic house displayed a visually textured yet smooth surface, embellished with vivid colours that produced a unique splashing effect. In contrast, the weathered piece of wood, aged and covered in a layer of sand, exhibited the enduring marks of time. I wrote down what these two objects made me think of and tried to develop my ideas based on them.
