Rough experimentation with form design that parasitically grows up the face of the cliff, attaching itself via separated learning specific nodes. Focus is retained on organic form derived from that of a vine.
FOLIE TO BUILDING
Focussing on activation of space through awareness - a concept in my folie design, i'm playing with adapting the illuminating glass panels from the folie on to projected balconies from the core of the building. Combining this with the form of the building that effectively 'rises out of the shadows of the cliff' aim to make people aware of the HSW precinct, both day and night.
The views from these balconies would also be directed towards the original views from the folie design, therefore directly adapting the folie design to this building form.

LIVING BUILDING
I am now focussing on the practicalities of enabling a 'living building' - one that draws its energy and water from the site. A large focus is on living machines that will filter water from the Brisbane river to water the green terraces and be used as grey water, which will then be re-filtered and returned to the brisbane river, cleaner then when it was taken.
I am aiming to incorporate these services within the exterior facade of the building, so as to create a feature of them, and hence a visible feature of biomimicry on the building. Lots of research to be done on this topic.
