The submission is unique in its extensive use of photos to describe the construction of a built project. While it clearly communicates the project, it would benefit from a more balanced use, and reorganization, of drawings and photography. The drawings, especially the conceptual diagrams, are small and all located within the upper left hand corner of the sheet. As a result there is a great density of information here while the rest of the sheet is completed with large, simple images. It is recommended that the author distribute these concept drawings across the sheet and place them in correspondence with the photos they describe. The author would also benefit from adding annotation directly to the photographs to describe dimensions, materials, and structure and other design concepts. Finally, the use of human figures would more clearly communicate the scale of the project. As shown it is difficult to comprehend at first reading the way a user, and the plants, might inhabit the space.
Jury feedback summary
Hooke Garden is a greenhouse pavilion in the UK that makes use of earth excavated from the site to form its full-length rammed earth wall. It also uses forest timber and lime in lieu of cement for a more sustainable construction. The wall is supported by six dual posts arranged 1200mm apart to form the mold, and the posts extend above the wall to support the timber roof. The wall performs as a thermal insulator for the greenhouse as it absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night for the continuous cycle of growth for fresh fruits and vegetables within, a source of food for locals.
