I've drawn inspiration from garden artist Patrick Blanc as a method of solving my 'garden atmosphere' design intention. He specialises in vertical living gardens that can be employed as a feature piece of art both externally and internally.


Japanese Gardens are interesting and relevant to my project because they're deliberate and precise in framing specific views. This is an idea I'm playing with in terms of incorporating a garden feature in my building.

I've likened my clients morale decline to that of a car crash so i thought some images of accidents could spark some inspiration in terms of form or even phonomena- The feeling of entrapment and restriction etc. I'll try avoid translating these literally into form but they can serve as a vantage point or a reference when looking for design direction.

This sketchup model is an unresolved but litterall representation of the chaotic 'car crash' theme that I've used to express David's inevitable emotional breakdown. Its separated box like buildings symbolise each little factor that contributes to the eventual breakdown.
Model 2: A suggestion that McDavids life isn't in despair: It is well lit, open and spacious with angular but not aggressive planes. The fenestrations allow for visual interaction with the natural world outside, but not a direct physical interaction. Would be good to adapt these kinds of spaces into a separate design, and form a relationship between this aspect of his life: the positive outlook, with the darker side of his psychi. Needs work however, I'll admit.
