Plan of Palladio's Villa Rotonda

Working Palladio's plan as a basis of my own design

Initial Concept Plan

After reworking palladio's villa rotonda as a basis of the floor plan in my design, i added some degree of vertical hierarchy to delineate my design in 3 dimensions due to the rigid design in palladio's plan.

Landscape Development

Wuyi mountains from the Fujian Province in China serves as the environment in which my landscape is based on.

Draft concept of the students elevator from the folly to school

Initial test for the facade panels opening up to display the school/bridge

Lumion screenshots (incomplete)

Although hard to distinguish what it is, the concept i had in mind for my design was a grand structure that intergrates with the environment harmoniously. With the bridge being placed at a high altitude, the most natural design to intergrate with the environment would be clouds, as seen in the screenshots the bridge is enclosed in a transparent body. This body will be further designed to mimic the look of clouds and blend in more harmoniously as it currently does not achieve that effect.

Taking the exterior body off to show the school which is currently incomplete and susceptible to change. There are many spaces that i have designated with a function as part of the school however the design of the interior is currently lacking.
