POMPEII (naples-Italy) / Renzo Piano

INTERVENTION IN THE EXCAVATED CITY

POMEII (naples-Italy)

The project is indicated to protect Pompeii from any for of decay for all eternity. The idea was to divide the space still to be excavated into many sites, and each site would be covered with transparent panels when opened; it would thus be sheltered from the rain and ultraviolet light, and yet remain visible to the public.

The section below portrays the extreme contour of the site, showing the importance of choosing location for each site and how the building related with the site contour. The colour on the section showing inside and outside; how the texture, colour and material related with the neighborhood. Playing with the opacity of the colour representing the distance of the object.

The technique that it used easy to understand how the building sitting on the site, related with neighborhood, inside and outside.

This section emphasizes the massive scale of the building. The book chronologically shows the master plan on top before moving to the illustration of the sections. This method aids the reader to follow and feel the scale of the edifice in a short period of time. 

from this section, i would like to use the technique of colour to emphasizes inside and outside, the contour, and the distance of the object on my section.

Learnt from the first project to creating self-sufficient community with Woodford as the exemplar creating the idea of educational experience, preserving the nature, creating a greater sense of community in order to achieve a strong self-sufficient community.

Further develop from the first project bring up the idea of creating a social, community and environmental relationship, bring all the people together to experience it. On this second project with futher understanding of the Woodford site and people I come out the idea to built a Workshop Gallery,

with the precedence of Bora Ring which is circle as the shape symbolising.. 

• Inclusion
• Wholeness
• Focus
• Unity
• Nurturing
• Cycles
• Initiation
• Everything

The circle symbol meaning is universal, sacred and divine. It represents the infinite nature of energy, and the inclusivity of the universe.

The function of the building let people experience their culture and the gallery to preserve culture, through my building I want to bring up the woodford aboriginal and symbolise their presence.
