This is beginning of my second development model of the Carpenter's element in the community. This solid base (initially envisaged as built from local stone similar to the vernacular housing) will act as the Carpenter's dwelling and have the characteristics laid out in the previously posted narratives.
Constructed above this will be a volume that defines the progression from the crafting of the material at the rear portion of the volume towards the distribution at the front. They meet at the tall space which reflects the meeting of the horizontal nature of the process and the verticality of the trees in the vicinity. This volume also allows the space to be lit from above reflecting light down into the space.
This volume would then be supported by an external structural frame that would allow the volume to be pure simple as well as providing a frame onto which a layer of cladding that could provide shade to certain areas or privacy in others. These are ideas that need further exploration.
From the public entrance the space will be low and dark which will lead to the bright space that the space focuses on which will suddenly soar upwards towards the crafting process and beyond to the canopy and sky above.
