Course: DP2 Creative shelters
We designed a very personal and therefore private space, the shelter of a creative individual along the Taff Trail:
A writer’s retreat / A creative shelter that isolated and protected the creative agent from the surrounding environmental conditions.
A photographer’s studio/ An interpretive shell that helped the creative agents to reconnect and explore the river and its surroundings in innovative ways. The shelter’s material fabric were re-imagined as an entropic membrane, allowing particular sensory input to pass while blocking others.
A musician’s chamber/ An extension of their creative bodies and amplifiers of their sensorial input, which boosts their creative skills and feed them with inspiration.
In all cases, the shelters were to establish a threshold between their creative agents and nature, a controlled passage and boundary that allows them to re-position themselves and enrich their creativity.
