cocoon playground,shanjida shamma












i want to make a cocoon form which will looks like it generate from the ground.
in the cocoon mesh the parts which are generated from ground somewhere act like ramp,somewhere like net.by ramps people can go to upper levels and by net children can climb.some part is also use as slide from where children can slip from upwards to down words.and some curved surface will be use as sitting place.

  1. thank you for posting,

    this approach seems a lot better then your other attempt.

    please work on following problems:
    first of all:

    1. it is very visible in your design that you have no control over what you are creating at the moment. A lot of the projects in our studio look complex, but the complexity of the better projects is still based on some simple rules that then are just refined and declined over the architectural body that is created. And the beauty is that you can still see those rules of creation.

    the only solution to work on this problem is to choose a design technique (preferably one you learned in the workshops)and start designing.
    I suggest that you don't start so complex as you did now, start with simpler and smaller structures

    you have to find an answer to simple architectural issues like:
    a. scale (it is still to big)
    b. proportion
    c. spatial organization


    another idea is to form a group with Daniel Balean or Attawit Sotyom.

    2. it is no cocoon at all, but for me that is not really a problem
    either you find a new name, or if you desperately want to stick with the idea of a cocoon you really should think of a how a cocoon is built up.

    3. and then you also might consider that a playground is composed of differnt spatial situations
    it is my believe and the studio's attempt that this many spatial options that should be available for the user can be folded into one design at the end, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can not start with designing different situations (smaller and more related to human action)
