[Design Agent] Response from presentation {14.11.12}

[Co:LAB] Rational for selecting project:

Highbury Park: Hide and Seek Rainwater Harvesting structure

The brief for both the Highbury Park projects appeals to my own design drivers as something that can create a positive function on the environment and as something that can be a beautiful piece of design that is appropriate for its location.

Both these projects have interesting briefs; firstly the hide and seek proposals asks for a three dimensional structure that can provide a new range of habitats but can also be a place that enables an intimate connection to nature that can be used as a place to view and also to experience. It is also important to incorporate a sense of place but still connect to sustainable issues and zero costs.

The second brief is to explore a design that can be used as a process of Rainwater harvesting. There is an emphasis of the ideology to make this system something that is of zero cost and can be made from the resources that can be found at Highbury Park. The project should conclude with a concept prototype installation that can demonstrate the potential to be green and off-grid.

The unity of these two briefs makes for a beautiful design that can be sustainable and also functional.
