Hand drawn site map of concrete lawn and MSD building. This was further illustrated as an action plan of the concrete dawn, depicting where<br />

the most popular parts of the lawn are throughout different times of the day.<br />

100 Word Narrative<br />

The following is my 100 Word Creative essay that focuses on the program ‘occupy’. My aim was to describe<br />

a comfortable study environment where I would feel most compelled to situate myself and take part in<br />

what the space has to offer.<br />

‘As I made my way across the first floor, I saw the most welcoming looking area that looked<br />

effective enough to lay out my textbooks and get stuck into my assignment. Just by looking at<br />

the plumped up cushions on the backs of a long bench, coupled with a spacious desk that could<br />

fit a whole group of people, I felt compelled to interact with this space in that I knew I would be<br />

able to efficiently get my work done due to the resources provided there, the comfort the<br />

seating offered me and my ability to socialise and study simultaneously which would ensure<br />

that I would enjoy getting my work done’.<br />

Spatiotemporal Narrative<br />

My main materials that I used here I gathered from internet sites, magazines and newspapers. I started by cutting out each image that I would<br />

find that looked comfortable to me, and then managed to incorporate it in some way in my final collage. I then pasted each image onto the<br />

image of a plain, clean and bright room to create a space worth occupying.<br />

Superposition Collage<br />

The above plan was achieved by combining and tracing my action plan, assemblage plan view and my spatiotemporal narrative. I then<br />

simplified the superposition collage to create a clearer plan that can be used as the basis for my final plan and designs.<br />

Experience Collage<br />

This collage gives an overall sense of how I intend for my final design to be occupied by its audience.<br />

Final Project<br />

This is a perspective photo that I took, illustrating what the<br />

view would be like from the top of the rooftop garden that<br />

I have incorporated next to Union House.<br />

This perspective photo depicts the view from the metal<br />

seating that I have designed, surrounding Union Lawn.<br />

This perspective photo demonstrates the view from the<br />

top of my ‘stepping’ design. My aim was to convey how<br />

one can overlook the entire concrete lawn from this height<br />

and suggest that my design offers a new perspective onto<br />

the University.<br />

This is a similar perspective photo to my first one, taken<br />

from the rooftop garden next to Union House; however<br />

this displays the same view from a different angle,<br />

demonstrating the freedom to move around on this<br />

rooftop garden.<br />
