Materials and Cladding

as the majority of Chosen materials are raw and practical, for massing, to enhance views etc. There needs to be some type of distinguishing elements.

In the public area around the building I plan to design a sculptural instillation that will also double as seating / play area for children, exercise equipment etc.

I want to represent stages of the slime mound sporing.

This is the first and Last stage in the slime mould life cycle. This is symbolic for both the site and the patients at a rehab/ mental facility.

and so I designed the spore garden.

I also looked at different cladding systems and designs.

I settled on a slime mould inspired system, this is a more visual link to my bio mimicry link.
