THE DREAMCATCHER
Figure 190
Figure 191
A handmade willow hoop on which a net or web
is fashioned is known as a dreamcatcher in several
Native American and First Nations traditions.
A dreamcatcher is hung on top of the beds of
people, usually children, and is meant to trap
bad dreams and allow good dreams to enter the
room.
The building can be inspired from the dream
catcher and protect the visitor in several ways
just as how dream catcher protects the sleeper.
The dreamcatcher is hung so that the sun’s rays
fall precisely on it, and it is thought that when
they do, all of the unpleasant dreams that are
captured are burned. The building can follow the
sun path over the building and prepare the interiors
for the nighttime so that the visitors biological
clock is adjusting to the time to prepare them to
fall asleep that night.

The circulation can be inspired from the dreamcatcher
through the use of the main functions.
The circulation can be designed precisely for a
positive experience for the user as they interact
with nature and the building.
