Paddington.Basin > Development.


I think these two sheets worked out quite well, especially the second one as the perspective drawing really helps to show the experience of the site. Below are two more development sheets that show how I came about adopting the design from the love nest to the paddington basin site. They also show how I developed and resolved my design and show where I got some ideas and inspirations. You can see from below the stages of how I managed to resolve the problem of incorporating the whole site in my design and manage to get rid of the hard edged landforms that were making my design look uneven and ugly. I came about the spriral shape through looking at clothoids which are opposing spirals. I created these shapes with wire to see what would happen so that I could get an idea of what might happen to the land. The tension and friction between these opposing shapes either pushed up or down, therefore forcing a landscape up or down. I chose downwards as there was limited height in this site due to the overhang. The new spiral pool that i created produced a perfect focal point for the site and created a perfect distraction from the other end of the site where my two lovers have their romantic rendez-vous.
