can you create images of using the concept of the va'a by either pulling it apart or turning/flipping it to make a building. the building will be located on land in Samoa. Note it has to be made into a building. this part of my building is to represent arrival and navigation just like how a va'a does. Zone A: - Arrival & Navigation "This first zone, Zone A, is located closest to the coastline. Its architectural form is a direct reference to the va'a, with an elongated, curved shape that embodies movement and a connection to the sea. This zone is designed to be the point of arrival and a space for orientation. The programmes here are: Hub 1 (Arrival) & Hub 2 (Departure): By separating these two hubs, the building physically marks the beginning and end of a journey. The 'Arrival' hub serves as the threshold where visitors land, while the 'Departure' hub acknowledges the cyclical nature of journeys. Information Area: This is the first space a visitor enters. It's designed to provide immediate context, orienting them to the site's narrative of voyaging and the cultural significance of the moana. Outdoor Lookout Pavilion: This pavilion extends outwards towards the ocean. It’s not just a viewing deck; it's a space for contemplation, giving visitors a final, memorable moment with the moana before they turn inland. See more
