Courtyard Buildings The idea of building something from the destruction of the seasons led to the heart of each design. A mix of textures, decades, economic history and geographical location joined together to create the base designs. With such an amalgamation of references, I felt it was essential to incorporate mystical and natural motifs to ensure cohesion while still conveying the destruction. After scaling back my initial, entirely too ambitious goal, I ended up focusing on the Spring season.
Whilst developing the layout (Which can be seen in the ‘General other aspects’ section), I ended up returning to this circular courtyard at the heart of the land and from there having the main 4 buildings encircling a towering Maypole incorporated carousel. My general idea is that this courtyard is bustling and lived in, moving with the seasons and festivals. To assist in articulating my vision, I created a 1:25 model of one of the buildings.
The four buildings are a quick service food and beverage location, a guest services and first aid, a more formal sit-down restaurant, and a merchandise location.
