I borrowed the idea of having a hanging sitting place. I also studied how people sit and referring back to my mood board which shows slanting planes.



Moving on to the transition from the walking area to the river bed, my case studies show that some of the pools have slopes and others have steps. i would like to incorporate gentle slopes in my design.

i wanted to incorporate this idea of an active play area which does not force them to play a certain game but let them create their own play. I discussed with ben since he was doing a maze and i found
a hotel named nakagin capsule tower where they made use of cubes and stacking.

i decided to sketch because you cant really see much in the model because it is made out of transparent plastic sheets.
I played with the height and the position of the cubes and i also added bars from my obstacle course.
On another area, I also decided to incorporate the slope. i didnt go to the adventure cove but i studied it and i found that there is an area where you float beside the aqua life like the fishes.

I would like to make a plot twist. I would like to make a transparent swimming pool where the humans resemble the fishes in the enclosure.



I would also like to add a bridge above the pool. it connects the 2 ends of the pool encouraging interaction.
Previously, I have talked about contouring i want to incorporate this by having a free contouring platform where visitors can sit or stand. it is contouring as the position of the visitors get higher so that they can enjoy the view from the top.


This is a pic of the model. regarding shade, ive only chosen the top left spot to be shaded by an overhead plane because it is where the users will first arrive when they climb the stairs to this level.
From the places that ive visited, they only have limited shading because they want the users to experience the feeling of outdoor play. This contradicts my idea to have the place shaded because its too hot. My stand is to have sticks in repetition. it provides little shade.
One more thing is that the places that are made of glass is actually for sunlight to penetrate thru the glass so that there is natural light in the 1st storey.
PW: Good to see you have so many new ideas bubbling up in your head. Unfortunately we have reached the detailed design stage of the project and this phase requires you to DEVELOP existing designs. Remember the comments from scheme review? You should be looking at the comments we have you rather than coming up with new ideas which may be inappropriate for this stage of the project. So I will caution you here. I want to hear from you how you can improve your current project with out getting carried away with the new water elements.
