Pilot’s Hub: a contribution to the Pioneers of Aviation Museum

Abstract not available

The process of dissecting the concept, theory and design of the Pilot’s Hub will be explored by means of the following perspectives: the Readable perspective, the Memorable perspective, and the Writable perspective (figures 3 to 5) that suggest the different chapters formulated to become a storyline. The Readable perspective introduces the essence of the project and elaborates on the aims, research question, intended users and structuring programme of the Pilot’s Hub. This perspective forms the introduction of the book in order to orientate the reader. The Memorable perspective pertains to a spiritual and three-dimensional experience of the design process that captures the concept and theoretical discourse of designing and building the Pilot’s Hub. This perceptive holds the body of the story that keep the reader entertained in order to capture the entire process. The Writable perspective renders self-reflection on the feelings and attitudes towards the proposed design as a whole, thus, transforming into the concluding chapter that captures the outcome of the entire process. This dissertation aims to depict a holistic, representation of designing and building a structure from initiation to planning and design stage, then to execution from laying the foundation to full completion, referring metaphorically, to a process resembling the systematic development of aviation and the exploration of flight.
