As an introduction to designing for a specific site, the studio was tasked with generating an imaginary landscape on which to propose an architectural intervention. The process was started by walking through different real-world environments (a park, train station, library, etc.) and recording the experience via a series of reductive maps. These symbolic drawings were combined and reinterpreted to create a highly complex 24x24” wooden landscape. The landscape was then used as a basis on which to construct and calibrate surface structures that could provide shelter and shade, beginning to define spatial volumes where an architectural program could be inserted. A bathhouse was proposed for the site and was developed from the structural surface models into a final construction.
