Designer Precedent - Initial Ideas

After finishing my research I had lots of ideas that I began to sketch. At first I focused on coming up with a courtyard that had many ideas taken from Goff's architecture. This included organic shapes, sunken seating, spirals, and use of water. From this I worked further on one of the ideas I like the best; the spiral. Using the spiral I think I will be able to succesfully convey Goff's use of 'mystery'.

To create a symmetrical plan I had the idea of having two spiral that intertwine with pathways in between following this pattern that prevent users just going straight to where they want to go but instead forcing them to explore the courtyard.

After creating this basic layout for the plan I made a concept plan where I zones differant areas the paths would lead to, utilising the theme of rest, work and play.
