Conceptual Analysis
Stemming from the overarching project theme of HEALTH, my two initial concepts are derived from the following inspirations.
1)
- Protractile (adj.)
- able to be extended or opened out
- capable of being protracted, lengthened, stretched or protruded

2)
- Cohere (v.)
- to stick together; be united; hold fast, as a part of the same mass
- to be naturally or logically connected
- to agree; be congruous
Similar to all natural forms, this inspiration expresses how the composition of elements cohere to make a whole. Muscle, bones, skin, organs etc. combine together to make the body. Below are some other examples. I feel that communities that have logical connections and natural circulation between spaces help promote a positive atmosphere for the public.
