"Your ideas are clear and your presentation communicated them clearly, although I think the sky was too small a part of the story - it seemed to get overwhelmed with lots of other less important details.
Your path ahead seems to be quite clear.
The trick for you will be to bring all the various elements - pathway, small and sky - into balance.
So things like proportion, light and materials will be very important. That means physical experimentation and model making will be a very important part of your design process."
Also, for the final presentation make sure the model is up on a high plinth so people don't have to bend down to pick up elements to smell...
Pathway + Smell + Sky
Proportion
- in particular the path in relation to the connected rooms/buildings
Light
- bright-dark-bright sequence
- bright house, dark path, bright destination (night time) versus dark house, bright path, dark destination (day time)?
- small glimpses of sky when moving inside the building but not when static (eg. in corridors & circulation spaces)
- light filtering in between room gaps in walls
Materials
- macrocarpa & cedar linings for rooms/corridors
- scented, fragrant plants lining the path eg. thyme, mint, lavendar, research some more...
- mortar mixed with fragrance eg. rose water + musk in mosques
