All groups preparing to present final ideas

Precedent study to examine alternative approaches in the use of fabrics to create space.

Diagrammatic plan of the site, using lights (suspended at varying heights) to lead individuals throughout the space.

Site 3D exploring the use of varying heights and spaces between post, to create a semi-transparent space.

Design development through modeling, exploring the use of fabrics to define specific spaces.

A 'hanging' approach adopted by group three that feeds on the historical investigations into the site

A concept model from group three showing how to utilise the context

Considering the use of screens to split the spaces

An interesting investigation into how to treat the ground as an alternative to hanging the design

Group 3 investigating a 'wrapping' approach to the site context as a means of making space

An investigation into how materials can be interpreted with different treatments

Group 2 drawing on the research into the Serpentine Pavilion to create a strategy of differentiating the spaces

Some initial design responses from group 1 using light and massing to create transitions between the spaces

An artistic interpretation of the site program

Another example of the use of light in art with the intention of creating spaces

The Serpentine pavilion proposed by group 2 as a means of separating the spaces

An interesting precedent found by group 1 into the use of light in installations and architecture

Some initial strategies about how to address the site

Preliminary site survey from Day one site visit

Some preliminary investigations into the social context of our site in Alexandra Park
