Whilst there are time constraints to any project, before starting design be sure to investigate the history and context of the project site as the discoveries may yield an informed resolve. Perhaps there was a technological advancement which can influence the narrative or maybe there was a historic event or object upon which you can orientate the architectural composition (the landscape, the structure/buildings). Example; let us imagine your client’s heritage is involvement in aerospace innovation (flight). You can reflect the function in the structural design by utilising some of the construction methods and detail. Bolt on systems and such. Definition links: zeitgeist & genius loci
Intent & context: In 2015 a child was born; imagine a dialogue with this little spec of star dust. The intent is to reveal our thoughts and experiences as we venture through time (life), as well as explore the wisdom it has to offer with regards to art + science + space + architecture + engineering + technology. It is apparent that not all things can yet be grasped, thus begins the composition of our journey which we wish to share, not only with our child but also with you.
