INUJIMA ECO-CULTURAL ISLAND

The design goal of this studio is to re-imagine the island to be an extensive ecocultural park while exploring the triangulated relationships between the existing culture of the island, the environmental geographical qualities of the island structure, and the energy resources for the island such as thermodynamic engines.

Concept

We started off with analyzing the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, By realizing the relationships indicated in the painting, we were to develop an understanding of the system and make models to represent it and further, use those relationships in our later designs.

My Study explores with watercolor paper’s structural qualities when it’s wet and reshape it when it dries. Then extract the structure by tracing with a 3D printing pen.

Final Model Absorbs the quality of the paper, with the tracing of the structural lines to create the frame structure that lives on top of the island.

The Structural lives all over the island to create both the structural element and the hanging gallery spaces in mid-air.

The pipes of the Structural element also serve as pipes that deliver the Geo-thermal Energy throughout the island.
