SOAK

The subconscious is a powerful force of the mind. Each day we are provided with opportunities to exercise or rectify that which roams the mind. Given that our surrounding environment affects our actions in a very tangible manner, Soak seeks to soothe and massage, to release any toxic hindrances that one may have collected during the day - to help restore the mind back to a natural state of purity. Soaks intent as architecture is to perform as an environment that filters : the sub-conscious light water

To be determined by placement of vertices in a 2 box buffer zone from each corner of a 30 x 30m grid divided up at 1 meter intervals.This is done so that there will be only subtle difference amongst the floors so as to not distract from the art, of which is the main element of the building.

SOAK

The flow of water extends all the way from the roof (roof top cinema) down to the meditation space. Rain water is caught by the open air cinema (since it will not be in operation when raining) which is stored, then distributed firstly to the pool, which spills over an infinite edge to the level of meditation below. The noise of the falling water will mask noises from the highway as well as provide a visual filter for the view across the cemetery. Higher level water storage also allows for the utilisation of gravity for distribution throughout the building.
