(not my final design- I wanted to figure out how spaces would fit on my bridge)
Blue: Bridges/ movement
Yellow: Lecture theatres
Purple: Offices
Green: Studios/ labs/ other spaces
I want to create spaces that vary in shape and size depending on location, and seem almost like separate spaces altogether (if not for being linked by the bridges). The shape of some structures are inspired by buildings adjacent i.e. the curve of the lecture theatre next to the Roundhouse.
The "left"side of the school (as seen in the first pic- the side closest to High St) clusters structures where mainly architecture students would traverse. The "right"side would be used more by other UNSW students, as I want to develop the bridge above University Mall into a more public, social and engaging space where UNSW students as a whole can meet and hang.
The elements I want to make move are:
- the top floor of the lecture theatre above University Mall- because there is limited space available on the bridge without totally blocking up the sky, the top floor could swing outwards to create a second lecture theatre.
- an elevator/ stair system leading up to the bridge/ school
(I still need to figure out how to animate)
Feedback/opinions are welcomed! Thankyou!
Hi Berenice. Everything you've said so far has merit, the success is all in the execution and how you articulate your ideas and the architectural form. I would try looking at your form in ways other than just a birds eye view, get right in there and find the cool little moments, that may influence how you develop the design too. Im not clear if your forst movement idea is saying "theres no room anywhere else", if that is what its saying you need a better reason than that, always try to turn constraints into opportunities. Kepp going, looking good so far. Chris.
