Space + the Room (Part 2: Hong Kong Wetland Park)

Interior
My sketch

What do you identify as the solid:
Ceilings, concrete floor, columns, seats, information booth, banners, plants, stairs, glass curtain wall


What do you identify as the void:
sunlight, empty space in the building, the stream that connects the building to the wetland

What is the relationship between the sold + void:
- The ceilings (solid) and the concrete floor (solid) interact to form a enclose space

- The glass curtain wall (solid) allows natural light to enter into the building
- The stream in the center of the building connect the wetland and the interior

Result of the interaction between solid + void:
-The interior space is quite spacious, therefore, the interior can interact with the wetland outside

What specifics to the "parts" play a key role int he form:
- The stream starts from the entrance outside of the building and it flows through the building and finally flow to the other side of the building
-Same as part 1, this room is form by ceilings, floor, and walls. However, the glass curtain wall connects the interior space to the wetland that is outside of the building
- The vegetation in the building also brings the wetland into the building


What relationship is there between the container + the void:Aerial View (GC)

The shape of the building is very unique. The roof of the building connects to the field, making this building seems like it is grew from the ground. People would not able to notice this building if they don't observe carefully. As a result, by putting this building in the wetland park, it would not destroy the environment of the park.
