While drawing inspiration from fluid shapes that represent natural elements is an excellent conceptual starting point, the project should be more site-specific. It’s essential for the design to reflect the unique elements and surroundings of the site. By grounding the project in its location, the design will not only honor the natural environment but also create a more meaningful relationship between the architecture and its context.
When parametric design is introduced, establishing clear parameters is critical to justify the building’s form. Parameters such as sunlight, wind direction, and other environmental factors should directly inform the architectural choices. This allows for a more responsive and purposeful design, ensuring that the project isn’t just visually striking but also functional and sustainable.
Additionally, the idea of using a grid system to develop a structural framework is a sound starting point. However, more information about the structural strategy would be helpful, as only limited details were provided. I encourage the student to research similar projects to better understand the complexities of structural design, especially when considering the involvement of various engineering trades (e.g., mechanical, electrical, and structural engineers). Understanding these disciplines will provide greater insight into how the building functions as a whole.
It would also be valuable for the student to include the overall square footage or square meters of the project. This will give a clearer understanding of the project's scale and help inform decisions related to layout, circulation, and overall feasibility.
