This design study explores a public entrance space that harmoniously blends form, function, and community. At its heart is a sculptural staircase with integrated seating, transforming into a multi-tiered amphitheater that encourages social interaction and community events. The amphitheater's layered seating offers flexibility for various uses, from public gatherings to casual seating, making it a central space for the community to gather and engage.
Above, a striking timber canopy hovers, showcasing intricate craftsmanship with a lattice-like design. This overhead structure not only provides shade but also defines the aesthetic of the space, merging natural materials with modern design principles. The surrounding trellises are adorned with greenery, bringing an element of nature into the built environment, enhancing the overall experience.
Designed using advanced computational techniques, every detail is precisely tailored to optimize both the structural integrity and visual impact. The design takes full advantage of timber's natural warmth and flexibility, creating a welcoming and dynamic entrance that transitions seamlessly into the surrounding architecture.
This project represents the intersection of innovative digital design, sustainable timber construction, and community-driven public space, offering a visually captivating and functional experience for all who encounter it.
