Week 12- Exp 2 Final Submission, The Bridge

Theory  -  Fitting   for   purpose - Adjoining   to   the site instead of adjusting the site. Designing spaces with empathy, creating spaces for enhancing.  By using adaptable architecture to create elements that are capable of morphing, creating spaces through moving architecture. Still Images Hero Shot The design wraps around the Square house and was set to be lower than it. Indoor/ Outdoor Studio & Computer Labs  The idea of blurring interior and exterior space through a play of materials and form. Amphitheater & Outdoor Library The glass canopy diffuses the sunlight, making it comfortable for activities to take place visually and physically. View from Anzac Parade A sense of mystery emits from the site. Activities can be seen through the soft screening, yet providing privacy from the public.  Indoor/ Outdoor Library & Research space Books can be read anywhere, learning takes place everywhere.  Lecture Theater &am

Week 10- Axonometric / GIFs & Model update

 Axonometric Gif 1 The idea of space pivoting from a central point and extraction of a space from the main body Axonometric Gif 2 Spaces that adapts according to the site, a play of addition and subtraction.

Week 8- Plan ideation & developed concept

Image
Plan Ideation (Inspired by House for an Art collector, Herzog and de Meuron) Modified layout after Ideation Divided into 3 main bodies, the concept was driven by grouping the activities that makes more noise and activities that requires a fair bit of peace. The Developed Model -  Fitting   for   purpose- Adjoining   to   the site instead of adjusting the site. Designing space with empathy for site, creating space for enhancing the site.  By using adaptable architecture to create elements that is capable of morphing. Following my Theory, the idea was to make use of the existing elements and create something that is able enhance the sqaure house/site. Connection to squarehouse is achieved by having these grounded buildings slowly reach out to the squarehouse. They are kept low, which is important for the users to feel comfortable in terms of scale and ratio. 

Week 7- 2 Point Perspectives & Moving element

Chosen Perspectives  2- Extract  Canopy, Barrier, Critical Frontage, Gather, Settle Curious, Birth, Being 6- Shield Defense, Discover, Deflect Bond, Physical, Respect Earth, Lock, Impact The Moving Element (2- Extract) Adapting to the site, instead of turning a blind eye to the strength of the site and redesigning everything to suit the new architecture. As compared to my previous scheme, the forms have been grounded as i feel that this is the way i should tackle the site. Some of the "Arms" have been shifted to areas that are able to enhance the existing site itself, the grounded forms also allows natural light and wind to come through.  The concept of "Extraction" still stays, it could be controlled by AI which moves the architecture through preference according to the needs of the site.

Designing space with empathy for site, creating space for enhancing the site.  By using adaptable architecture to create elements that is capable of morphing. Following my theory,  spaces should be designed with a key concept in mind, to create habitable spaces that can connect humans to the world of built environment. The world is heavily influenced by architecture, so much resources have been used to create what we call home. We have to start designing spaces that supports activities, the least we should do.  18 Sketches 1- Amplify 2- Extract 3- Heavy 4- Humble 5- Ignorance
