Theme Group Selection

Now that the folie design has been completed, we are able to select preferences for a theme group which will influence the next two design projects and therefore our final design proposal for Howard Smith Wharves.

From the options available, my first preference is Biomimicry with Yvonne. I chose this theme due to always having an interest in the environmental and site aspect of design, an interest in sustainable design and an agricultural background on the sunshine coast which enabled me to always be immersed in nature. I also think that this will provide extremely helpful design tools for a future in a possible sustainably driven architectural world. Nature has many lessons and methods of dealing with problems which as yet have not been explored to the highest capability. The field of biomimicry is relatively new and should continue to grow and prosper in the futuree therefore learning about it early in my design may put me in good stead for the future of my architectural career.

My next preference was Working With Icon with Davoor as I think it may tie in well with my concept regarding the study of landmarks and symbolism.
