Wk 8 Masterplan Development



The first version of the masterplan where I'm attempting to represent ideas such as:
  • art-centred housing
  • learning centred on social connection
  • experiential (art / learning / connection) circulation
  • connectivity between areas
  • phenotropy; pattern language > pattern recognition; embracing turbulence
  • outward looking site
The masterplan relies on existing infrastructure (roads, paths, water system) and does not propose changes significant change to the existing open spaces and festival locations. The large swathes of colour in blue, grey and orange are areas that I am not clear about yet.

The above diagram is an idea about sustainable housing linked to a learning centre.

Rough sketch in tutorial -  interconnected housing system with permanent framework and semi-permanent skin - linked to learning centre. Waste moves from the festival to the learning centre to the cabins as semi-permanent skins.










Feedback from the tutorial:
  • keep on testing some of the ideas
    • scale of waste - ie. you couldn't use all of the waste generated at the festival
    • in the masterplan, the distance between the cabins & the function centre
  • develop the story further (eg. how does the guy transition from property development to woodford?)
