concept of my design

As my narrative describes a girl struggling in a peaceful environment, I want to design a building which gives the feeling of struggling. The picture above is an inspiration which I found it struggling.

This diagram shows the concept of my design of the plan. There are two space in this building with a spiral corridor connecting them. The corridor is designed to be frames of wood with no walls or roofs, because I want this corridor exposed to the exterior environment. The girl may walk in the struggling spiral corridor to struggle which direction to go, but she can still feel the peaceful outside environment. She can see the trees, the grass and the sheep on the pasture and can breathe in the fresh air outside and enjoy the sunshine.

This diagram shows the concept of my design for the elevation.The space on the left is facing north and that on the right if facing south. The left space is designed in the shape for direct sunlight, which indicates the new hopeful life as sunlight always represents the hope. The right space is designed in the shape of against sunshine, which indicates the old comfortable but decadent life as people may feel lazy and relaxed without direct sunlight


This diagram shows the design of the facades of the two spaces. The one facing north uses curtain wall in order to have more sunlight coming in. The one facing south uses small narrow windows to avoid huge area of light coming in, as the girl may have the feel of decadence when seeing the indirect sunlight squeezing through the narrow window.
