Concepts - Land meeting sea










An area constantly being changed by the elements factoring in weather and tidal patterns. Beaches have ever changing landscapes and it is this ideal that I want to incorporate into my design. I first looked into how movement is currently being used in architecture and found my idea for my first concept, the modular "Pods".
























The idea behind this design was to have two separate Pods that the public would be able to arrange in anyway they wanted. They could be furnished with lounging furniture, used as a public bathroom or a gallery space. It was after the idea of having the idea of a gallery that I then came up with my final concept, as a gallery in itself also has this element of constantly changing and moving.

























This design has a large empty frame with wooden panels on the roof and front wall that can be moved/adjusted either manually or set to move automatically with the weather, time of day or tide. The four walls placed in the middle of the structure are not permanent to allow of a range of gallery types and installations. The effect of these movable panels is more visible in my perspective drawings.
