Lille Charrette: Merging 2 concepts into one.

Two groups of four students merged into one group of eight. The concepts 'Line Meeting Movement' and 'From the Hill' were merged to form a duel concept of 'Percolation of Line Through Movement'.

A schematic graphic to illustrate the merged concepts was drawn.

Step & Seating Combination Chiswick Park West8

Spotted this step and seating combination at Chiswick Park by West8. I have a wave seating feature which is my resolution to the junction of the rear terrace and garden. In the current design it is just a regular set of steps. R:150 and T: 450. I'm keen to combine this with seating as it's such a strong feature. And as a public space I can see entertaining taking place on the extended terrace. I have already incorporated planting beds cut into the steps to soften them. Although the final pattern, size or random needs to be determined. The stepped seating area at Chiswick was H:480-490 D:1200. There were 3 steps to each level of seating.

I'm still undecided about the materials I would use. I wouldn't suggest that I will necessarily use the materials which are used at Chiswick as they feel perhaps to urban for Farindon.

Perfect Quote to Describe Farindons!

"in order to avoid the fussed look of Victorian gardens where 'objects of interest' were introduced like currents in a plum duff."
