Project Summary
The first words on the brief: ‘breathe in.’ This statement makes you realise that you take a breath in, and a breath out your entire life; except you rarely ever realise you do. You rarely ever stop to focus on these 2 actions, but instead, most of us live busy student lives and we fall into the flow - we stop taking moments to calm down, become overwhelmed and begin to take our wellbeing for granted.
Thus, by bringing back a focus on something as natural as breathing, ‘Tetris Hill’ aims to create a space that invites university students to ‘slow down’ in their daily routine of rushing to classes and submitting assignments. Sitting on a university site as a walkable hill covered in greenery, Tetris Hill creates a gradual, rather than a sudden transition into a breathable, natural, space.
Tetris Hill does this through mediating the number of external stimuli a student is exposed to by considering their senses. By playing with ambient light, vegetation sound-filters, curved vs hard edged architecture, Tetris Hill creates a condition in which the indoor breathes in the outdoor. The outdoor condition begins to act as an extended threshold to the indoor.
