Project statement

From the review, I got the vibe that they enjoyed my linear "rib-like" structure, and how you choose two sides to recharge your car. The idea behind my design is to set an iconic standard for the overall appearance of a electric station. Using the cantilevered idea of constant angled pylons and parking underneath it, I was originally influenced by the tensile structure used in my rest stop. Then exploring through constant modules of this cantilevered pylon, I was also inspired by my case study of Richard Horden's yacht house. The idea of parking underneath these angled shading and lighting experiences would be fascinating. My hope is to change the overall appearance of gas stations/electric stations, and make these dramatic "floating" beams a constant design used for the electric charge up. When we read the article regarding the House of the Future, they were trying to make a standard and image of what residential homes should become at one point in time. This is the same attempt I am doing.
