As a house as a home, a forest is uniq and special place for years for the living beings. Thinking ofparent cluster, forest is a house for us which fed by water. Life moves on around water.Every family member of the forest need water to survive. Being a part of a forest starts with being a part of water. As a conceptual idea we wanted to cling on the fountain of the forest. The powerful movement of a river in a forest is the key of the project.
The movement of a river is the most powerful energy in a forest comes out by nature. This power of movement of a river observed exahustive and analysed by Rhino+Grasshopper. As a result of this motion we mapped of the water of the river. This mapping are explaning the water movements and routes. Thus shaping of the river by this routes let us to see, how to get maximum surface area by this tracks. These surfaces have maximum friction surface under water we can use this power to occur the energy comes by river movement.
Obstacles in the river like a tree or a rock, shapes water around. We used this points to create house areas to use. Also getting maximum sunshine to the house is possible with location and the best location is an open area like water elements. As a material of construction wood elements and stone we used as a part of forest.
Living in a forest alone is not realistic, being a uniq house piece of forest is not being a part of forest. With this approaching we created a community, neighbourhood and creating new living spaces for other livings in forest. There are 4 housing zones to live and there are small livings spaces for other neighbours like small creatures.
Following the shapes of the water creates potential of right air way comes from forest and river.In addition of them acting form of the house like river dont blocks the water flowing and being in the river by surfaces let the control of the water resistance.
