Hello and nice to meet you all, this will be my very first challenge and very excited to take part in this. For this particular challenge I have an African themed environment in mind, something that is grand in scale and a safe haven for people to thrive in. Will definitely keep this post updated with sketches and ideas.

Here I wanted to start off with one of my reference pages, the idea in my mind is huge shapes which towers its surrounding areas, something that is grand and dominant through out the design. I also looked at traditional African villages, which the new settlement will have influences from.

Here are some thumbnail sketches based off my reference pages, trying to keep the theme of huge, as much as possible.
