The exterior facade catches the first warmth of the sun, its surfaces shifting with colour and time. Openings glow from within, like ripples of light across dark water.
Collage study how surface, light, and trace behave together. The facade translates this by letting light seep through shifting planes, marking time just like softened echo of the lost river.
Section view reveals this porosity again, as the void carries daylight deep within while edges remain loose and breathing; quiet gradients that set the building’s mood across its public interior.
Light drifts through the building like slowed currents, gathering and dispersing across voids and edges. It thickens the room’s depth and gives each path its own quiet tempo.
Circulation stretches as a slow current, widening and narrowing to produce moments of pause. Surfaces guide orientation without hierarchy, allowing soft autonomy in how people choose to move.
The axonometric sets out the project’s circulation, while the landscape vignette records the waterline through stepped stone and the native plants taking root where water once rested.
