8.3 CONCEPT 3
DUALITY

Sleep is a complex proccess and tends to confuse many people
on how it functions. The circadian rhythm for those who suffer
from sleep disorders is not predictable and not consistent but
rather is a journey through wakefullness and sleepiness. Those
who suffer from sleep disorders tend to stay awake during the
night unable to sleep, but get tired and drowsy during the day
bcause of their lack of sleep. The loneliness, fearfulness, annoyance,
etc felt from those who suffer sleep disturbances can cause
major lifestyle disruptions.

The building concept is that of duality, as the pattern for those
who get consistent sleep every night is that of linearity of highs
and lows, those with sleep disorders have an inconsistent pattern.
The building takes the form of the intersection of highs and
lows of those who do and do not get consistent sleep and varies
in height for the different buildings to only allow certain direct sunlight
through and creates shadows over the central space where
one would be looking for solutions to their sleep problems. Individuals
with sleep disorders may be looking for an escape or
haven during the hours they are trying to get sleep and this building
will take shift roles and function from day and night to serve
that contrast and provide different benefits and functions for the
different time of day.
