Neighbours

For Assignment 2, my client The Timeman is forced -as he would argue- into an urban environment with... Neighbours dum dum dum! The horror! Funnily enough, each of these neighbours are as eclectic, eccentric and unique as the last, and have all approached brilliantly talented architects like myself (HA!), simultanously. How fortunate. Consequently, in order to deliver an overall design solution, the four architects must work in conjunction with one another to ensure these new neighbours can coexist harmoniously. This situation also provides the potential for a deeper underlying contextual relationship between these characters, other than just geographically. The challenge for us architects will be to design in response to our client's unique nature, and create architecture that potentially, helps open these characters to new possibilities beyond their preconceived limits. For The Timeman, this means shattering the protective skin he has constructed around himself, and forcing him to engage with society (or at least his neighbours) for his own personal evolution and benefit.
