Experiment 2 - The Space Between


Week 1 Tutorial - Architectural Concepts

Concept #1

Monumentalism (Aalvar Aalto)
  • The geometric format of Aalto's buildings implies a very clean and sharp facade, that is both functionally and visually aesthetic to the surrounding area.

Concept #2

Modern Material (MAD Architects)
  • The ongoing facade on their buildings creates an asymmetrical building design, insist the idea of disconnection to the urban polygonal landscape it has been set in.

Week 3 Tutorial - 36 Textures






Week 3 Tutorial - Light, Medium, Dark Texture

I used this Dark Texture for the flooring on my light rail stop. The reason for this is that I feel like this texture brings a mysterious vibe to students where it coincides with the eagerness of getting on the bus/train when it's about to come. This combination works well with my concept of "Modern Material" as it is an asymmetrical texture which allows the platform of the rail stop to stand out.

I am using this Light Texture on the stairs to get up to the railway platform. It brings a sense of attraction as bricks, letting students know that these stairs lead to the stop. This relates to my concept of "monumentalism" as it functionally and aesthetically fits in with its surroundings.







This medium texture was used on the railway tracks and roads to signify the transportation that is evident in my railway stop. It relates to the concept of "modern materials" as it showcases the disconnection that the roads/railway tracks have within the university campus. It denotes an idea where only vehicles are allowed on these markings.

I wanted to base my design of a new faculty for the built environment on present / future architectural landscape.  With this in consideration, I want to include current characteristics the faculty has (eg. red bricking) to keep it well known. Another aspect that I intend to include are the self operated louvres at the red centre. I remember Dr Haeusler explaining to me that the louvres change according to the sun's rays. I will look to alter this by implementing a louvre design inspired by Chuck Hoberman. The space requirements for this task has given me an opportunity to create a structure where all Built Enviro...

Experiment 1 - DATUM

Experiment 1 - Datum Prior to beggining of  ARCH1101 - Homework This was my HSC Major project for Design & Technology. It is a water cleaning system that utilises natural resources to purify water for consumption. This is the Leaning Tower of Piza which is located in Piza, Italy. Construction of this architectural started in 1173 and finished in 1372. It leans because the foundation it was built on was soft. I'm surprised it hasn't fallen yet.
