Further idea development

After further development and further elevation sketch of my chosen idea, I decided to experiment more and see if I could come up with a new idea which could have more potential or that I could like better

I still went with the triangles in the chosen design and tried to rearranged them, which made me come up with this idea


This idea comes from an inspiration of my first chosen design but also from " modular structure" which is a sculptural structure created by Sol LeWitt. Sol LeWitt was an American artist who made contributions to conceptual art and minimalism (LeWitt, 2019)

The design of the modular structure consist of simple geometric units that can be rearranged in different orders to come up with one structure

Geometric Structures, Sol LeWitt, 1979


Five Modular Structure ( Sequential permutation on the number five) , Sol LeWitt, 1972

This really influenced my design because this term I went with the theme of modularity and repetitive design which these structures represent perfectly.

To have a better idea of my design, I decided to develop it further in oder to understand it more and have a better visual concept of what the final outcome could look like

    This is better - direct evidence of research and its impact on the design of the visitor centre. Really good to see the design drawings as well.

Multi-faith centres and religious spaces

Multi-faith  centres are inclusive spaces that encourage dialogue, understanding, and collaboration among people from various religious backgrounds. They   provides a space where people of differing religious beliefs can spend time in contemplation or prayer  (Center for Architecture, 2023) .  These spaces promote diversity and unity through shared values and interfaith harmony. They provide a neutral setting for worship, dialogue, and community-building, contributing to inclusivity. The significance of these centres in promoting inclusivity and diversity lies in their celebration of diverse religious traditions and encouragement of interaction among different faiths. They also foster open dialogue to break down cultural and religious barriers through shared spaces and activities, as well as promote the idea that diversity is an asset by providing a space where all faiths are respected  (KAICIID, 2020).  Understanding diverse cultural and rel...

St. Moritz by john Pawson : Research

 In this piece of research  will explore the St. Moritz church by John Pawson. I am writing about it because I am  gathering information for my architecture project which is a multi faith center and this church is one of my inspiration  St. Moritz church  St. Moritz Chapel, designed by John Pawson, is located in located in Augsburg, Germany. The artwork mirrors the peaceful beauty of the area and captures the interaction between nature and human influence in a harmonious manner.

The piece embodies the attraction of this famous place, drawing from its special mix of sophistication and natural beauty. John Pawson is famous for his minimalist style, which emphasises simplicity, clarity, and a focus on the fundamental elements of design. The St. Moritz Chapel primarily uses white concrete, align...

Final major project: Form and function

       The primary function of my project is to allow children to have a good time outside in a safe and sustainable place. Creating spaces that are in harmony with the environment, using eco-friendly materials, and promoting practices that help preserve our natural resources  Sustainable Playground I am creating this playground because in my city (Kitwe, Zambia) we have plenty of parks but people do not use them as they are not user-friendly and as a result they are not safe or maintained. The playground is located near city centre, where the vegetation is dense and will allow the users to have fresh air. Having a sustainable playground in Kitwe will allow the children of the community to engage together in a safe environment.          Reference         s.c, C.I.-S.
