Definition: "The branch of philosophy or psychology dealing with the origin and nature of ideas.
Our brief for the Dolphins Barn Project catered for four troubled youths and one live in supervisor. These teenagers have not had the best start to life. They have all lived in unstable and chaotic circumstances and are dealing with many issues in their personal lives. This project provided a rare opportunity to substantially improve the quality of life of these individuals.
My ideology for this project was to create a stimulating yet relaxing place where they could feel safe in a nurturing environment. I wanted it to be a place for healing, somewhere they could come to deal with there issues and prepare for the next stage in their life.
I tried to implement this ideology through the concept of a serene Japanese garden with an atrium running up the two levels and housing a live tree which was symbolic of growth and the maturity the teenagers aspire to achieve.
