Here, I continued with the concept of stacked housing under a sort of web. I see these as four separate pods within the whole site, which has been cleared of all remaining structures and infrastructure. Each pod will be self-sustaining and connected by a central road that winds through the tree farm.
Upon further iterations, the concept of having the buildings themselves create a type of arch and the roofs to create the web.
This concept was challenged and I was asked to consider arranging the structures to be responsive to sun and wind as well and not just rainwater collection. These three attributes will have to be researched based on the dynamics of the site as well as available technologies for harnessing each element. Farming opportunities will be considered as terraces outside of each unit instead of one central garden area. Other considerations include parking underneath the living structures as a means to elevate them for maximum light and views and the manipulation of the roof systems to be changeable or stagnant.
