Real-Time Images Rendered (LUMION):

Overview. 

Foreground: Computer lab

6 studio rooms, each holding 10 students

Back: Library

The shape of the building encompasses a common space (in this case, the library) which branches out into private rooms. The space being patterned in alternations between wall and glass gives the feel of blinds without actual blinds, so it does to become overly bright. The space is structural and only contains one circulatory path making it easier to move around. Also visible is the Voronoi bridge leading to the main most visited building, the squarehouse.

Back

Top: Library

Bottom: Lecture A and Lecture B

The public spaces are quite large and open enabling for a freer mood, as compared to studios which are much more private and closed off.

Top

From top to bottom: 

- Computer lab

- 6 studios, each holding 10 students

- Lift in hallway

- Library with moving element which leads to two private rooms which are used as meeting rooms

View from library, moving element expanded. Looking out to hall, with visible studio in left.

Spacious library; note patterns of the window. 

Groud floor, looking from entrance down hall.

On the ground floor are 4 studios, each holding 10 students. 6 on the top, 4 on the bottom gives space for the 100 students. As noted, the studios are private and closed off minimalising noise and distraction.

RELATIONSHIP TO THEORY (75 WORDS):

The model relates to the theory in the sense that there are two, main hubs which branch off into multiple smaller rooms. On the ground floor, there are two lecture theatres, open for all, split into 50-50 seating capacity. On the first floor, an open library can also be split. The result is an almost symmetrical floor, but each floor holds different qualities/attributes. Fluidity is evident through the shape, each room/section eliciting a new mood creates a multimodal, cohesive path.

Exp 2: Week 3 Studio Activities

36 Custom Textures --

Linear                                         Rotational

Scalar                                          Fluid

Softened                               Oscillation

CHOSEN TEXTURES:

Moving Elements/Textures Applied:

For the library.

The moving element has multiple purposes, first off acting as a dividing wall which splits the library into two, creating two potential meeting rooms for staff or students. The front 'doors' act as doors to the library, creating privacy, but also a floor to ceiling writing/whiteboard to eject ideas. This is all hidden away for convenience. The texture added suggests vision to travel in the direction of the 'rays' - towards the whiteboard.

For the first floor hall.

(This is NOT a moving element) The marble texture represents tiles, creating a more modern feel to the space, compared to the carpet on the lower floors. The gradient of the marble lines is the 'path' which leads to the adjacent studio rooms, and out.

Lift from ground to first floor.

Chosen texture seems like linear lines, but wrapped around tube lift gives it a motion effect. It suggests being elevated to several levels from the stacked, textured lines.

Precedent Planning

Chosen precedent: Riverside Museum (Zaha Hadid)

The precedent aligns well with my theory, which stresses fluidity.

Experiment 2: Week 1 Studio Activities

Theory

Five words:
- Fluid
- Terminal
- Leaking
- Multimodal
- Circulation

"Through the formation of a public terminal - a central hub leaking out into connecting multimodal routes, there is cohesive circulation generating a dynamic experience"

Sketch Perspectives

The cross features 4 arms which span off to different locations. The left-wing leads to UNSW fitness/aquatic centre, the back wing leads to the international house, the right leads to the roundhouse, and the front leads to the squarehouse. As noted, the building will swoop high into the air, with descending paths leading to the upper floors of their respective destinations.

Experiment 2: Introductory Task - Initial Circulation Cross

The focus was on circulation, rather than the physical attribute to the building itself. I made sure to connect important surrounding buildings; these being the squarehouse for the main building for architecture studying, the roundhouse for leisure, the international house and gym/fitness centres, and an overhead bridge to NIDA on Anzac Pde.

The overall shape of the building will swoop high into the air, with one main hub/lobby style room which will branch off into several different rooms/paths. The cross is quite simplistic as I don't want to go into any complex, definite details yet.
