Embedding Ecology – The Eco Farm Project 01
Embedding Ecology – The Eco Farm Project 01 from softgrid_limited on Vimeo.
This is a quick early fly through of a project we are involved in (China ). The video was not meant to be of a completed design, but rather an attitude that we brought to the project in the early stages.
Our accepted proposal based on this quick visualisation reflected the main spatial/architectural principles involved:
1) An actual ecological area at the heart of the agricultural/scientific scheme
2) Public access to the new amenity created (a public park)
3) Working with the topography and studied water paths and collection
4) Incorporating/enjoying the abstract patterns created by human intervention in the form of agricultural landscapes
5) Shifting perceptual possibilities through seasonal varianceProduced in co-operation with: Marc Sawan

Introducing Light – Options/Studies for an Office, Laboratory & Exhibition Building 01
Part of an ongoing series of design options on a large complex building sitting in an enhanced natural landscape with views out onto a lake. The building floats off the ground, with wells of light penetrating deep into the plan. Pools of water and hidden parking beneath the building provide a sheltered environment to enter from. A large green roof and waterside landscape attempt to integrate the building with its location so that one cannot be without the other?
