Final 'Bridge' Assessment

lecture theatre

library on mezzanine above study area

multipurpose study space

The computer lab, library and study space in one open plan area - encouraging collaboration. Also a strong use of glass to allow natural light.

Outdoor area on top level, joined to the study areas.

Staff offices walled with glass.

Large common area with more strong use of glass and open plan spaces.

Sketchup model in 3D warehouse

Moving Elements

- I changed element 1 to having 4 panels as it meant when stacked together, the entire studio space would feel more open
- I also omitted the door to allow for a completely enclosed area if need

- to make element 2 more interesting, instead of having one large glass panel, I cut it into 16 smaller ones, which lifted in a sequence

moving element 1
- panels can move in any direction and in any sequence

moving element 1
- entire studio area can become an open space encouraging collaboration between different groups

moving element 2
- glass panels lift to create indoor/outdoor common area

Peer Marking

36 textures

TEXTURE 1

I put this texture on the outdoor area on the top level to contrast against the grass. It is also then visible through the glass on the side of the building.

TEXTURE 2

I used this texture as the back splash in the kitchenette in the common area.

TEXTURE 3

I used this texture on the booths in the study area.

Plan

I chose the J.J Lequeu Plan as I wanted some sort of rounded shape to encourage the theory of collaboration.
- built on top of squarehouse
- bridge to fitness centre

Using it as a Plan

Using it as a section

Basic model of the Plan design in sketchup.

After playing around with the design of both the plan and section, I still preferred my original design from the axis task.

How Architecture and Natural Light affects Academic Performance

• usability
• productivity
• natural light
• improve academic performance
• collaboration

"A designed workspace that encourages collaboration and allows an abundance of natural light, maximises effective usability and productivity by students, resulting in improved academic performance."

the original design of the axis

When I put the sketch model into the UNSW site, some of the dimensions changed to fit the surrounding buildings. This was the resulting shape.
