PROJECT-1 Cliff Pavilion
Nature provides the environment for all lives including people, and allows us to
compete and survive. Most would agree that, for healthier and happier lives, people
should know more about nature and the natural environment. The natural world as
we know it is declining. And irresponsible human activities should be stopped, or at
least restricted. Although there are people and organizations that strive to protect
the natural environment, the majoritys knowledge about nature is limited. Through
the study of natural environments and architectural precedence, this project
proposes to develop a design of a space in order for people to intimately experience
the natural environment. By experiencing nature closely, people may gain more
knowledge and understanding about the natural world. And hopefully, because of
this experience, they will have more respect for the surrounding natural
environment.
