Design Development
Preliminary Design Sketches
Jan 2020 - March 2020
The progress of initial ideas and concept for the proposal. The primary intention of this schematic idea is to create a building with a playful form to relate back to the thesis research, which is a playpark aiming to improve youth's physical health by encouraging more physical activity.

The progress of developing the massing base on the schematic studies and comments from studio lecturers. The intention is to study the scale and proportion, building form of the massing towards the surrounding context, to show the adaptability to the context.
Final Design Development
April 2020 - July 2020
The progress of improving the building design, form, planning and facade system base on the comments and guidance from the lecturers throughout the process. The idea is to create an active roofscape where the people can roam around the entire building to increase their physical movement. Besides, this design is design to be open and flexible, to enhance permeability from the outside and inside, as well as allowing natural ventilation cross through the space to improve indoor air quality and thermal comfort.
