The Waterfall - This zone provides space for lockers and an attractive vanity, the waterfall features a kaleidoscopic approach to utilizing the central window of the space. Private change rooms and showers are set within the underside of the hill construct to create an environment which alludes to washing in a natural waterfall.
The Hill - The hill construct uses a single module, composed of two scales which aggregate to create the form of the hill. As the hill transitions from the easiest intensity to most difficult, the modules introduce varying heights, direction of movement, and different levels of cadence.
The Field - This logic of varying levels of difficulty or intensity translate into the logic which programs the field construct. Markings on the floor represent activities which vary in their cadence, distance, and are designed to collide and overlap in the field zone. This results in a wide range of application for the user, which can be adapted to the user’s ability.
