Stonehouse future vision postcard

Building upon all of the previous ideas and research I have created an image using Photoshop to illustrate what the future of Stonehouse could be. Taking the Ann Demeulemeester store in Seoul as example for what could be classed as a totally ‘green’ building within my vision, and placing it over a run down, crumbling building, then adding an image of street activity from 100 years ago represents this complete notion of combining the best from the past and future. The Ann Demeulemeester store takes a modern, hip shop and turns it into a calm oasis in the middle of a heaving city. The building is covered in vegetation and moss:

“opportunistic plants that grow thick and green even in the midst of big-city smog while creating calmly insulated (and oxygenated) rooms within their folds.”

Joseph Grima “Go Green. Literally.”
This not only means the building is ‘green’ in an ecological way, it also brings this ‘green’ soul and aura, which was previously discussed, back to the area by having the modern structure and purpose, along with providing calm in the center of a city.
I also chose to represent the ‘green aura’ with the projection onto the side of the building, to bring the prosperity and soul from the past.
