Inspiration for this piece:
Taken from a hotel I stayed at in Phuket, Thailand, the architecture of this resort encompassed my full passion for designing buildings that are sympathetic, yet unique and of contribution to their environment. The Hotel was secluded within a natural jungle surrounding, overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. This free aesthetic treasure was an optimised feature, considered thoroughly by the architects. The waving foundations of the building not only represented the aquatic turbulence from tides ahead, but also allowed residents to feel as though they were not surrounded by manmade structures, but taking a leisurely swim in a natural water setting. Moreover, another feature I admired within the architecture of this hotel was its ability to collaborate traditional Thai building features with modern demands for simple yet effective designs.
How I produced this sketch:
This image was taken from a photograph I took whilst on holiday. I used pastels to create the colour and give a sense of the panoramic view that the architect achieved when designing this building.
