Even though the glass structure around the building isn't above street level, I like how the reflective glass is extruded at different angles which reflects the building surrounding the health department. Since it has been modernised, the building really stands out from the other buildings on the same street which is eye-catching and I think this is a good thing because if I was to design something above street level, It should be able to stand out since pedestrians do not usually look up when they are busy commuting. 

The airship structure is made from steel and wood and it is situated in the middle of two buildings above ground level. The shape itself is pretty outstanding. Although I am not looking to making anything that is this huge, I think it is a good piece of reference since most of the structures are very futuristic but this one is made from wood which gives a nice curve effect once viewed from the inside. I would also like to open up my material choices for this project.

I chose to look at this model as a reference for the Threshold project since it is quite similar to my site with the sunken down parts. Although the threshold isn't clear in this model, but i think it is quite a good starting point when designing especially with a minimalistic model like this once which I can base my model with.

I like the minimalistic approach of this threshold. The concrete floor and walls makes the pathway clean and nice to look at, I also like the narrow gap that lets the light shine through. I think i will look into concrete was a material for the threshold project since I like how it looks when its concrete on concrete. 

Here's another minimalistic approach to the threshold project,  I like how the wall curves inwards to reveal another door/room. Since the space in my site isn't big, looking into small approaches like this one is quite suitable. The white bricks also makes the area look clean and simple.

I really like how shadow play is used in this structure since it is able to play with the natural light, the pattern on the floor can alter during each time of day. I also like the see-through wall due to the cutout of the wall but at the same time there is still a barrier between the two spaces. 

I tend to be gravitating towards smaller designs and more simple and minimalistic approaches due to the size of my site. I really like this entrance since it is placed at an angle and it is somehow very welcoming. I also like the material used in this entrance way. 

I like the concept behind this installation since it is designed for a leisure place/area it is attracting more people and with the use of the mirrors arranged in curves, I really like the curved shape since it goes well with the surrounding of the park. The mirror is also deformed so the reflection that is given off looks like an imaginary world. 

The long extruded she of the structure is what caught my attention but after reading into it, it is actually made for growing vegetations which is used on a small island. Since structures like this one could be easily adapted and altered to fit different situations and site area, I thought it was a good structure to research about since it could be easily adapted to the Chelsea Physics Garden.

This installation is a small piece that is based in a garden. I thought it looked quite interesting with the bended metal structures that could resemble a lot of different things. It is small so it could be placed at any corner of the garden and can be duplicated or altered to create something even bigger. 

I think that something like this would be good for the CPG since after doing some research on the garden, the gardeners said that they want people to look at the plants more and I think that would be possible with plant pots like this one. However, I think that this would mean that the project would be leaning towards a more of a product design approach instead of something related to ASD.
