This project deals with the understanding of material poetics in relation to user experience. It is to showcase architectural design informed by material use, environmental sustainability awareness in relation to user needs and the activities involved. The exploration of themes centred around the notion of addressing universal accessibility as well as the spatial experience of physically disabled users in this project will relate to the programmatic requirements in Project 3.

FLOW

NARRATION

To move is to be free. When we see a person struggling with mobility, we see only the disability; a yearning for a respite from the struggle, an urge to stay invisible. Here, they respite and flow. Caressing the blades of grass, smelling the flowers along the paths laid out. Moving seamlessly over and under, one with the guise of the undulating landscape. The sun shining and the wind on their face, they find shade. Whatever they may not be able to do with their legs, they do with their hands, nurturing the plants around them, tilling a life to care for, a purpose to revisit. Life is a moving process. We grow, move and progress. And to enjoy, the act of moving becomes intuitive, unrestricted and natural. To enjoy, movement becomes a flow.

REFLECTION

In this assignment, Iearned how to craft interesting spaces that cater to the wheelchair, but inclusive and welcoming to all. I learned to be more expressive and elaborate on the form, despite being restricted by the requirements for the wheelchair bound.

1. DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE

Strategies to craft paths for the wheelchair-bound were applied into the design, together with efforts to ease their journey through the structure.

2. LIFELONG LEARNING

The team was able to understand and emphasize more on the wheelchair-bound, and design by looking in a different perspective.
