MIAMI BEACH

RECREATIONAL HILL

CIVIC NARRATIVE – AROUND THE ROCKS

IT IS A RAISED PLATFORM INTEGRATED FOR ACTIVITIES AND

PLEASURES ALONGSIDE THE EXISTING INTERESTING ROCK

FORMATIONS ALONG THE BEACH. THE DESIGN IS INTENDED TO

BRING PEOPLE CLOSER TO THE UNIQUENESS OF THE BEACH

WHICH IS THE ROCKS THEMSELVES. IN PRESENT, VISITORS

STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS THAT MAY POSE DANGER AND

INACCESSIBLE, BUT MY DESIGN WILL TURNED IT AROUND AND

ALLOWS SEASIDE ACTIVITIES THAT FUSES HARMONIOUSLY WITH

THE ROCKS. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE WAVE-SHAPED ROOF

ACTS AS A MEMORIAL SCULPTURE TO THE INDIAN OCEAN

TSUNAMI WHICH ALSO HITS THE BEACH IN 2004.

PRECEDENT – JEWISH MUSEUM, BERLIN by Daniel Libeskind

THE MUSEUM IS DESIGNED TO NARRATE SUFFER AND PAIN OF

JEWISH LIFE IN THE PAST FROM ITS FAÇADE TREATMENT, ‘AXES’

FROM ITS UNDERGROUND TUNNELS, ZIG-ZAG FORM THAT

REPRESENTS TORTUOUS LINES, BROKEN CENTRAL LINEAR VOID

AND DISTURBING STRUCTURES IN ITS INTERIOR.

TECHNICS – LONG AND LIGHT, MINIMALIST STRUCTURE

THE STRUCTURE IS SIMPLE BUT THE BEAUTY LIES IN ITS

DETAILS; THE MINIMALIST CONSTRUCTION THAT REVEALS THE

TECHNICAL BEAUTY OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS ASSEMBLED

TOGETHER TO FORM THIS SMALL POOL AND CANOPY. ONE OF

THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DESIGN IS THE USE OF CORRUGATED

METAL SHEET NOT ONLY FOR ROOFING BUT ALSO CONTINUES

ITS WAY TO FORM THE ENVELOPE OF THE STRUCTURE. IT IS

ALSO SLIDABLE TO PREFERENCE OF VISITORS AT ANY TIME OF

THE DAY AS AN EFFECTIVE SHADING DEVICE OR JUST FOR

PRIVACY. THE OVERALL STRUCTURE ALSO APPEARS LIKE A

CONTINUITY FROM THE EXISTING RETAINING WALL.

PRECEDENT – MAGNEY HOUSE by Glenn Murcutt

THIS VERNACULAR DESIGN ADAPTS WELL TO THE SITE’S

CLIMATE FROM ITS EFFECTIVE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS LIKE

ROOFING, RAINWATER COLLECTION, BLINDS AND SHEETS

USAGE.

POETICS – JOURNEY TO VIEW THE SEA DIFFERENTLY

IT IS A JOURNEY FROM SECURE TO INSECURE EMOTION

SPARKED FROM THE BRIGHT TO DARK TRANSITION OF SPACES.

THE STRUCTURE CONTINUES LINEARLY FROM EXISTING

STAIRCASE TO MIDDLE OF THE SEA FLANKED BY TWO

CONCRETE WALLS TO CALM THE SURROUNDING WATER.

UNIQUENESS OF THE DESIGN IS THE UNDERWATER CHAMBER

THAT ALLOWS VISITORS TO NOT ONLY ENJOY SEAVIEW FROM

UNDERNEATH IT BUT ALSO TO BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE

SOUND OF WATER ECHOED FROM ITS OUTSIDE AND VISUAL OF

WATER REFLECTED INTO THE CHAMBER FOR AN ABSOLUTE

POETIC AMBIENCE.

PROJECT TITLE : TIDAL POOL AND PAVILION

ONE OF THE THREE ‘SMALL POOL AND CANOPY’ HAS TO BE

DEVELOPED INTO A BIGGER DESIGN FOR A TIDAL POOL AND

PAVILION . THE POETICS’ ONE IS CHOSEN . THE DESIGN IS NOT

FAR FROM THE POETICS’ SMALL POOL AND CANOPY AND JUST

LIKE THE LATTER, THE FORMER IS A LINEAR BUILDING

STRETCHES OUT TO THE SEA, BUT IT LEANS TO AN ANGLE TO

FORM A VISUAL CONNECTION TO THE SMALL POOL AND

CANOPY. THE SPACES ARE DESIGNED TO BE MORE ENCLOSED

IN THE BEGINNING BEFORE BECOMING MORE LIGHT AND OPEN

AT THE OTHER END CLOSER TO THE SEA. HONESTY OF

MATERIALS IS ALSO SHOWCASED.
