FROM THE FOLIE...

SOCIAL RELEVANCE

Analysis on suburb's characteristic to connect them through common interest or lifestyle provision of space for both casual and formal users.

2 types of use in existing site: Fluid Use and Static Use

Fluid Use: Spaces in which there is a fast program in it. These space temporarily house certain activity and do not continually cater for it. (i.e: dog walking, jogging, running, etc)

Static Use: Spaces in which programs are contained statistically (i.e: book reading)

The project features lifestyle commercial and residential center without 'covering' the site (note: Some people think the site should remain peaceful, they oppose any development that would fully 'cover' the site with buildings that aren't complement to the historical significance and natural element in the site)

Also, it connects to the street to welcome passers-by to enjoy groves of trees, cliff, and outdoor terrace. Right Below: Plaza on level 1 provides space for wider range of use

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

PRECEDENT

Magasin Du Nord :

A project by Bjarke Ingels in Copenhagen. Located on top of Magasin Du Nord, a department store in the heart of city, the square is an oasis that combine the benefits of space, air, and unprecedented views with a highly program including outdoor cinema, drop-off for cars and taxis, cycle routes, cafes, and stages.

The sequence of space is orchestrated as a cascade of squares that run down the building all the way onto the sidewalks and neighboring squares.

Casa Tolo:

Instead of fighting with natural environment, the architect uses the slope as the buildings main feature. This unique circulation of the home begins at the top of the hill, and slowly show off its beauty as you go down the outdoor staircase.
