Landscape is....Hastings- Inspiration and Materials

The plan above is one of the first sketches that became the theme to my Ideas Centre in Hastings. From the road the viewer has a limited view of the site.

The theme of the limited view to the site was reversed and I designed the above floor plan for the library on the 1st floor of the Ideas Centre. The theme is carried on because the viewer has now got a limited view of certain parts of Hastings.

The film loop above shows the floor plans and 3 selected views from the 1st floor, there's more detail about the selected views in the 'Sections and Views' post.

This sheet is investigating all the materials in the local area.

This wood is from the local huts in Hastings, surrounding site A.

The loop below shows the materials for the Ideas Centre.

Landscape is....Hastings Ideas Centre- Sections and Views

Above is 3 sections from the Ideas Centre to each focal point, showing what you can see from the Ideas Centre to the focal point.

This is one of the focal points from view 1. Its a buoy out at sea that's connected to the ideas centre. Its connected by Morse code. The idea being that the users type in a message and it flashes up on the lights on the buoy.

The film loop above shows the section sheet.

This is a photo from the West Hill in Hastings, it shows the 3 different views and what you can see through each view.

This is a view from a certain point within the ideas centre. The idea behind the limited view comes from the limited view of the site from the road.

The film loop below shows a summary of the 3 views from the ideas centre.
