Positive Outdoor Space

Outdoor space is just space that is "left over". No proper use or anything. Now, most of the time, this space is just left alone, done nothing. But, what our project asked us to do was change the "negative" space "positive". The options were to use Summit or Everest campus. In this case, I decided to use Everest's space. The first spot I transformed was the front. In the front, there are three ways of entering the building. But, they're barren with no cover from the sun, what-so-ever. Cover that up with vaults of hedges and there you have shade!

Then, move to the back. In the back, there is only parking space and a little hang out spot. In order for it to become a bit more "positive", for the area with the picnic table, I decided to cover it up with a pavilion like structure. It's made from weather proof wood and vines. The wooden beams are laid horizontally and the vines are intwined with the beams, offering the shade. In the middle there are parking spots, replace it with a little raised platform and a wooden/garden arcades that surround the platform. They still get sun from the top because it's open. Creating all "negative" space "positive".
