The Architectural Component and Experience

The slope of the space needs to be noticeable but not overly noticeable.
The design should have a reduced footprint upon the land on which it stands.
The users must be able to view the available screen to participate in the lessons. It is important that sight lines are not obstructed, therefore, a higher visual prompt should be made available

A fire and water component will be made by centre piece of the design; water over LED screens on the outside with an eco-flame burning in the centre.

This creates a strong feeling of tradition, connects with my group's infrastructure idea (AQUICK) and offers a gentle lighting source in the evening.

I have also had the idea of an adjustable sun shade; adaptable to the users of the space and the weather conditions.This will require a strong rotating mechanism around a specific axis. The question remains as to whether it should be completely enclosed by this shelter or 'semi-open' to the elements like a traditional meeting circle.
