Re-envision Ideas (notes)


The re-envision idea is to create a subtle, relaxing & calming place but brings out a mysterious feeling which creates interests to viewers. The idea is to make the place more enclosed so slits of lights can be put in to create little glows. The main source of light would be artificial lighting - up lights to give it a "brighter glow". They would be placed around the place to give guidance
to visitors. Concrete is going to be used throughout whole building to give it a nice texture. The concrete is going to be polished, so the lights will be reflected upon the walls and the filtration from the slits also bounces off wall. - It's to help the emphasis of the "glow" throughout the building. Metal (copper) cladding is going to be used to also help with the "reflective" sensation which is trying to be achieved. The colour of copper goes well with the concrete and it stands out more than just stainless steel.
