SIMPLY BOUNDLESS
Concept: SIMPLY BOUNDLESS
The baby does not speak but already connects; through sound, vibration, rhythm, instinct, a design should not provide literacy, cognition to be accessible.
"The womb is the first architecture perfectly inclusive, intuitively responsive, and utterly silent in its care. True accessibility should not be seen or announced. Like the womb, it must simply be present known only by the comfort it provides."
The womb: The most primordial architectural space, where the baby experiences the world without needing to access it.
The baby senses pressure, movement and fluidity with only spatial awareness through touch.
The baby hears the mother's heartbeat, internal rhythms and muffled speech; felt in body forming emotional maps.
The baby responds to the texture of uterine wall; it's all about designing spaces that speak, having accessibility being felt and not installed.
The baby inhales amniotic fluid having olfactory memory which says unspoken way finding.
Vision emerges last and it only sees a din ambient glow still learning direction time and change.
Wider escalators for an accessible and spacious journey.
Textured surfaces to have fun and experiential spaces.
Play of light with roofings having senses of tough around.
Pause points to enjoy interactions and thoughts.
Ramps providing ease to walk and having more fun accessing the whole area.
(From competitor's text)
The jury did not quite understand the essence of the proposal. The ramps are the same length as the flights of stairs, making them abrupt and unsafe.
