Massing Repetitive to Unique

While being in the open space, I felt very free and open to explore. I also felt like something was missing. I knew it needed a unique element because with out one it would continue to be plain. Also, I wanted to keep in mind the idea of preserving the environment by using the different resources around. I noticed there was a lot of light and wind so I wanted to explore those aspects of design. Because the site seemed so simple, I wanted a design that would be overpowering and capture the attention of all those around while still staying environmentally sound. When asked to evaluate something from nature I decided to explore an orange. My first time looking at the orange, I came up with some simple ideas and did not get very in depth with my evaluation. I did not think about looking at the great detail in an orange and all it had to offer. After reevaluating the orange I came up with three models all concentrating on the juices of the orange and how they are kept in one place, but could also escape with little effort. They were webbed together by thin layers of rind and kept in place. The design that I decided to interpret farther is the one with the balloon held in place by a thin rubber band. I want the house to look almost weightless and I want it to look almost weaved together with all the sustainable designs having them all tied together in someway. At first look, the design would look out of the ordinary and original. However, it would be based off something in nature that is a regular occurrence; we just have to look for it. The design made me feel very open on the site because it is constructed more upward, leaving me free to explore underneath and able to go above and be able to look beyond the site.
