Builder nature
Organization and unity existing in the context and space is an important factor in peoples’ perception of and connection to them. Due to some disorderliness in the site in terms of arrangement of the buildings, the designing team suggests to organize this space as a pattern including sign and function.
• Sign as an indicator at the center of Art village
• Function as the relation a community
Relation, acts as organizing the commuting path and motion flow and community as an organizing center. This center also acts as a public space having the rituals and local dances within itself
The design has been done by means of local materials existing in the region which can be defined as a regional art in line with the life of the people in the village.
The material includes beaten soil, wood, and climbing plants. Climbing plants in this design act as a fundamental element since due to the low budget allocated to the project, we are depended on the plants to go on the next stages and complete the case so that the nature can complete the design.
The construction site is Abetenim Arts Village, near Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
