Lily Pads
My initial thinking of a conceptual form for my structures was to look at marine plant life, the way that lily pads are grown are very close to one another, reminiscent of an archipelago. Another aspect of my design that I wish to pursue is to design the roof in a way that seems like it's floating; a lily pad looks like it's floating on top of the water on its own with no aid. But in fact it is being help up by a stem that goes down to the floor of the pond. This is an aesthetic I wish to replicate.
