Week 2 - B. Foli Development

A size study, The Foli needs to fit within a 5x5x5m area. Through this we have established that the Foli can be two storeys high. Having the ability to expand the structure over two levels allows us to play with the site context a lot more, and enables a much richer function or experience.

We began playing with the idea of glass, our main goal being the use of light and learning through the experiences it can provide. Having different platforms of only glass suspended over an area that are accessed through the cliff face itself.

We have now established a main idea of glass platform extending over the site, held up by an entanglement of metal. This structure is sheltered by sheeting that has an educational cut out and will be projected by the sun onto the existing ground. It is a take from the story bridge, an eagerness to learn, climb, be sheltered, experience views and excite the sensors.
