some renders of my design

3D images of open and shut doors

First floor plan

SITE PLAN

The site plan showing how the path that will run between the building

Auditorium seating design

The design for the foldaway seating

Sliding walls to rotating doors

When trying to incorporate the sliding partitions into my design I was not happy with the effect it brought with it. Therefore I want to bring in multiple sliding doors screens that will be more sturdy and easier to handle to be in placed that can not only slide, but rotate. This means when multiple amounts are put together it will have the same effect as a sliding partition.

Sliding Walls

The best way to make the space changeable is to put in sliding walls into the building, that means these walls can just slide back or forth to make or open up a space.

First render.

After looking at my model that was made in class, I have adabted the walls and exterior to come up with the following form.

Adapting the interior

After reviewing feedback, I have adapted the interior so it mirrors the pattern on the roof of the building. This is a simple image of the models made in class and an adaption of it on cad.

Building walk through

Looking at the amount of public walk ways around the Howard smith wharf, it seems obvious that there will be a walk way adapted near. I would like to adapt a walk way through the building this increases public awareness of the buildings function.

retractable seating idea

I want to include an auditorium or something of the sort for lectures and exhibitions in my space however I want to make the space adaptable.

Prezi Video

Structure

Thought has been given to the structure of the building, I have decided to show this through use of a photo montage with the structure overlayed the building so that each element can be connected to a job.

Prezi Presentation

Presentation for DAB 510, Folie to building

Tabula Rasa mixed with Concept

Tabula Rasa
the function of my building will be focusing on the theme of Tabula Rasa, as expressed in a previous post this represents the mind before experiences, I wanted to create a building the focused on other peoples experiences. So often we learn about objects, times, events, people but we don't experience them. therefore I want my building to about experiencing not learning. Although this is not Tabula Rasa which is the mind before experiences, I have adapted the theme to a functioning level which is not wiping experiences but obtaining others experiences.

Concept

The concept of the foli started with nature and combining organic shapes with the structure of the bridge. I felt that this concept was too weak and therefore developed it again with how nature on the site is different, with that in mind I found the over grown bunkers covered in vegetation giving them camouflage. I took this idea and when combined with the theme of tabula rasa it was easy to involve the story bridge back into the design with concept of creating a new experience of the story bridge that others wouldn't have (under neath it).

Zones

These are the different zones or spaces within my building, they all relate to the theme of Tabula Rasa

Blue represents the main space of the building, this will hold an interactive digital screens where the users can select to listen to stories and experiences.

Yellow represents the second level this will be a space designed to encourage group discussion to share ideas and experiences.

Red is the rooms on the first floor that will be designed as mini lecture theatres that will hold guest speakers

Green is the lawn that will be designed so the users can sit like a stadium and work in as a replacement for desks and chairs.

Renders

Ribbed Lawn

Updating from my last post this is the updated image of the lawn which has been ribbed so that it can be used as a seat taking away from the regular idea of learning in doors on chairs at desks ect. The view that the lawn will frame is also very interesting as it faces the city and definitely combines the nature elements looking at structural intensity of the buildings giving it a new perspective relating back to Tabula Rassa

Outside Seating

This render shows the development of the outside lawn, I want to make this lawn a functioning learning space relating back the to concept of creating new functions for elements to clear the mind of preconceived ideas creating Tabular Rassa

Dramatic shadow effect

This is a sample of what it might look like inside the building in early afternoon once the sun has passed over the bridge.

More development

View from river

This outlines the view that the building will give to the structure of the bridge and the dramatic different shadows and lighting that the site and building will provide particularly when the sun is directly above the bridge and light will be entering from the sides.

first Cad ideas

The first placement of the building seems to be in a crowded spot and with little view points able to be taken advantage of. While the use of the cliff works in the 3D cad file the reality of the site is that there is to much vegetation for on this area of the cliff to work effectively and have therefore been forced to rethink the placement of the building.

Understanding Tabula Rasa and relating to concept

Tabula Rasa means "The mind before it receives the impressions gained from experience" http://www.thefreedictionary.com/tabula+rasa 
 I want to create a space that challenges what people already think they know forcing them forget experiences and focus on now. Challenging the way they see objects, is the story bridge an impressive structural achievement or a road?
I aim to achieve this in my building by showing different view points, using different elements for different purposes and forcing the occupants to learn through different means.

First 3d render

3D Image of the roof shell of the building, the green roof which will be vegetated linking back to the camouflaged by nature theme of the building while the transparent roof which will be filled by glass allowed for the bridge structure to be viewed

This is a cad model of the site to better visualise the site

First 3D models

Now that I have concept sketches to go odd I have started to try and build on them to create 3D models and place them into the site

Concept sketches revisted

after visiting the site again and making a CAD model of the site to trace I have started to incorporate the model into the site trying to adabt the two together.

Concept sketches 2

From the last set of sketches I have tried to incorporate more into the buildings and environment and started to think about the fuction of the building.

Concept sketches

These images are the result of my concept sketches developing the concept of my foli and trying to build on it into the hidden building theme. The idea is the create organic shapes that will cover the building and also relate to urban construction of the bridge.
