Invisible in nature

I believe everyone agreed that people adore nature. Even more, the natural world is needed survival. And mother nature is the source of all living beings, which provides oxygen, food, and water so we should cherish it and protect it. At the meantime, we also are part of the natural world. Therefore, I think humans and nature have a symbiotic relationship and I hope that this project is able to improve the connection between people and nature.
In addition, I choose sounds as my sensorial studies object for this project. I also studied the Voronoi and fractals pattern which inspired by the structure of maple leaf’s cell. Then I intend to create a unique botanicalgarden for the shelter’s surrounding in order to enhance the people’s awareness of connecting with nature. In terms of the shelter, I designed an interesting green platform letting the shelter’s owner experience Mother nature by hearing more than visual.

EXPOSURE 

(n) Experience of something

 Exposure Resort is designed for influencers and young people. Influencers can visit the resort and influence other young people to go visit, this can help the Isle of Wight to get a more vibrant youth culture. 

The resort is built in the topography of the island and creates beautiful picture moments. Natural resources such as chalk from the site creates a soft and luxurious atmosphere.

The Lichen Retreat is an isolated resort with the purpose of drawing in young couples, restarting the spark from when the Isle of Wight was a popular honeymoon destination. The Lichen Retreat also contains a large amount of space dedicated to gardens, containing trees that are used to maintain the resort, while also embodying many of the wildflowers found at the popular tourist destination, the Ventnor Botanical Gardens.

The Lichen Retreat is the second adults-only hotel on the Isle of Wight and therefore creates a tranquil and unique space. this utopia is accompanied by breathtaking views and a large zen garden dedicated to couples, creating a space to rekindle and reconnect after months apart due to the current pandemic.

The Eternal Moment resort focus on how to let people aware of sticking by the essence of love that marriage is treated as a kind of eternal vow what ever how the era changes. Five specifically tailor-made vilas have been designed by various phases of different anniversaries, to witness each pair of couple growing old with their life companion. It will make use of the natural environment from the Needles, offering a series of energetic water sports such as windsurfing and diving for the newly weds, and creating a tranquil landscape merged in to nature for old partners. Besides that, the clubhouse of resort has been added a massive design approach and active system for sustainable vision such as a rain water collecting system and an atmospheric water generation.

I am exploring patterns within decaying trees and the effects of natural light in Christchurch meadow. Both points of interest experience change, movement, and altercations to their physical state. To connect the shelter closer with nature, I want to bring qualities of the natural elements: earth, air, water and fire into the shelter. By doing so, I hope to bring the atmosphere of the meadow into the shelter by mirroring the elements in a controlled manner inside.

For example, light represents the element air: it reflects the shape and patterns of objects in a distorted manner. These distortions are warped and shifted throughout the day as the sun moves and shadows are altered. I believe it could be interesting to mirror these changes in the shelter proposal. By incorporating angled windows, textured glass and other materials into the various facades and ceilings within the shelter, I will be able to produce interesting patterns with light, which, intern, should create a pattern from the trunk of a decaying tree because I think light reacts with trees very well and the combination of the two will produce a unique and striking result. The angular shapes from the pattern will be key in playing with light forms while also allowing me to experiment with unique living space and structuees. The use of the elements in the inclusion of running steam and central fireplace will connect the occupants closer with feelings and senses of the natural world.

This project is an accumulation of lichen; smell; water; minimalist design; and health.

One of the most underappreciated luxuries we have is the ability to smell. Some don’t; either through covid-19 or another condition. The Lichen Sinus Clinic is the metaphorical reflection of the multi-organism, lichen, as it has the ability to purify the local condition for optimal biological growth and a sign of ideal conditions. Heating local, fresh water to create steam indoors allows the patient’s blocked sinus to be opened once again, or for the first time, through the experience of a “clean line”, symbolic architecture. Blurring the boundary between man, nature, indoor, & outdoor. The connection to nature is abrupt, no unnecessary decor in the way. A place to be centred and truly value our relationship through smell.

The coronavirus pandemic has affected social interaction on a huge scale and left many people in a mentally fragile state. Social events such as festivals have been put on hold. It was events such as these that brought people together - through nothing other than music. Since music has multiple positive impacts on the brain, it is my aim to create a "festival resort" - where users can enjoy the simplicity of music and nature; scaling down the festival experience to create a more intimate, post-pandemic festival setting.

the image above represents the bubbles that I will aim to imitate through the design process - relating to the way some festivals and concerts operate during the COVID-19

Yugen

‘Yugen’ is a meditative resort that focuses on wellbeing on the west coast of the Isle of Wight. It provides the locals, and those craving a ‘healing holiday’, a place to retreat and experience the fundamental human requirements that we were stripped of due to the pandemic via yoga and crystal healing. The resort provides a juxtaposition to being locked up in a negative environment. The seascape location of Alum Bay and the quarr stone construction intends to tie the idea of being harmonious within nature, as the Isle of Wight itself is known for its sustainable approach to geological preservation.

"Aubade" is a resort that enhances the connection between humans and nature through sound. In the main building of the resort, an open amphitheatre can be found in which you can enjoy the music mixed with the sounds that the surrounding nature provides (Birds, water, wind....) Additionally, the user can experience music in numerous ways thanks to the different rooms and chambers that are located around the building.
