Formal exploration of petal of concave and convex form and spliting the petal into two layers creating in this way a space in between.

It consists in 4 petals, from which 3 have a doble layer. 

The non-linear placement of petals allows for a concealed lateral light entrace.

The petals heve thicknesses which varied in relation to this light entrances (I am exploring it now more)

Now I am exploring form and layers of petals (space in between; out-in wall formal differances..). I also want to explore how the petals meet at the top (ceiling plan).

site topography

I would like my plan to express the relation between the elements, to the site and the typologies of elements (main spiritual centre, the spiritual clusters, other program and park/landscape). The section should express the relation of the individual elements to the sun which should tell the story of the different "flowers" (height, curvature, thickeness). A taxonomy of flowers.

The spiritual clusters are orientated towards the sun (aperture orientation parameter) and  their entrances to the main spiritual centre to focus its attention through the journey. u can see it from every cluster.

 

The other programs have various entrances connecting them between themselves and with adjacent spiritual spots. The layers of walls will be define by number of entrances. They cant interrupt the view to the main area.

 

The landscape proportionates certain outdoor areas to enjoy views of the main element with the rest of the components and to correlate the elements by modelling the topography in order to make possible the visual links.

I represented these ideas in 2D diagramtical dwgs in order to incorporate the information in the plan that I have and then ill apply the same process for the section. Now lets try to comunicate all these info in 1 drawing!!! :)

Proportions, symetries, geometry construction and scale comparisom.

Transparencies and layers.
