Re-live the history
The brief was to build a tourist village that helps visitors to learn about the history of human evolution, which not only sensitizes, but spreads awareness about the changing relationship between nature, natives, and the country of Australia.
To efficiently narrate the history of Australia to the tourists, we have got two strategies in our project:
1. To narrate using all of the senses
2. To narrate visually
To achieve these goals, we have divided the site into respectively four zones: the Pre-human and Humanization era zone, the Aboriginal Australia zone, the Colonial Australia zone, and the Global Australia zone. Inside any of these zones, there are functions related to that period of history. Also, geometry, nature, and materials are following that period. Tourists are expected to feel those periods in the related zones by various senses. In other words, they are expected to live those periods of history.
For the second goal, we have designed a corridor (time path) narrating the history visually. It changes in accordance with any period.
