Concept/Parti Sketch

Parti sketch assignment from ENDS 211 (Intro to Environmental Design) course

This assignment had multiple parts: site analysis of Wreck Beach, concept sketches and models.

Unlike actually trying to improve the space for the users, I tried to do the opposite and emphasise the "optional clothing" aspect of the site - I referred to this as a "false sense of privacy/security".

Site analysis, focusing on movement and texture.

Learning Significance

  1. This was a very challenging assignment for me. I was never really satisfied with where it was going but I learned that understanding the features of the space can yield interesting interpretations. Some parts of my sketches were also too specific for a concept.
