Eliot Cloister Garden.
[With its 50th Anniversary approaching, the University of Kent decided to undergo a number of prestigious refurbishments; one was the Eliot College to improve the Cloister Garden. The Eliot College department and School of Architecture therefore agreed to set up a competition open to all students. The announcement caught our interest hence myself and fellow architecture coursemate Tracy Hulley decided to submit a design proposal to the competition.
The competition brief urged us to foster a feeling of history by linking its uses to the past and to create a multifunctional space for drama and dance practices and productions. The garden is also intended to create a tranquil and delightful spot for studying and relaxing for everyone.
The context played a substantial factor when designing as to ensure the garden worked with the context rather than against or blend in. Since the context contain the element art-nouveau architecture style from its curvy organic-shaped bottom windows, we decided that the design should incorporate a similar language and not be geometrically designed.]
