EXP 3 - The Bridge - Final Submission

Real Time Image Captures of Developed Lumion Environment:



Wide open space with glass façades offering natural lighting, and improving sustainability. 


The landscaping again promotes sustainability and blends well with the surrounding environment.


My Theory is based around BIM modelling and Sustainability. Therefore in the development of my school I have attempted to explore different forms of BIM modelling (using Revit, and 3ds Max), to create the school, and also concentrate on creating and ecologically sustainable design - hence the glass façades, and landscaping.


Lumion Video - Final Environment




The video gives you a much greater view of the school than any pictures can, it is a large model and hard to navigate via images.


Moving Elements:




I have two moving elements, and both of these moving elements are forms of transportation. The elevator leads from the folly to the school and vice versa. The Pod offers transportation across the entire length of the school.



Moving Elements Video:




Again it's hard to portray moving elements through images, so view the above video to see how these moving elements work.



Folly:



My folly is linked to my elevator, students can meet up and relax with a nice view across the valley.

News Article Mash-up:


BIM is now considered the most definitive piece of technology for managing building design and construction, for achieving everything from greater efficiency through to building performance and sustainability outcomes. Building sustainability is alive and well. Fortunately, the industry is not alone in driving this transformation. The re-elected federal government is throwing its weight behind the notions of sustainable efforts, and architects and builders are pushing for government support in developing a prominent position in developing a standard approach to BIM implementation in Australia.  As with any industry sustainability and being environmentally friendly are necessities in today’s day and age. Sustainable Development aims to meet human needs in the present while preserving the environment so that these needs can also be met in the indefinite future.

Draft Lumion Environment:


First Environment - Dolomite Mountain Range - Italy (Didn't End up using this one)



Second Draft Environment - (used this one)




I decided against using my first environment as I didn't feel it truly matched with my school, so I created a second environment basically two mountains with a flowing river between them.

Concepts:

  • -          Asymmetrical yet proportioned structure
  • -          Authentic Convoluted (surface with many twists and curves)  exterior
  • -          Configured in a contemporary and innovative arrangement
  • -          Balanced geometric composition
  • -          Open and borderless expanse

EXP 2 - Arch1101 - Final Submission

Design Concepts:



Frei Otto-


  • Creating Shelters with a small amount of materials
  • Design Embodies the pros of structure complementing the poetry of form
  • Nature has ready designs
  • Empty spaces are non-essential to the structure
  • The core and the exterior to perform as one


Alisa Andresek-


  • Use of attraction and repulsion to create dynamic forms
  • The ground is a network of nested-systems that can breed with one another
  • No definitive boundary between shapes creates fluidity
  • The relationship between the repetitious and perpetual form creates an intricate sequence
  • Network of patterns creates homogeneous form

5 Real Image Captures:



The main ideas I have based this monument on are, Empty spaces not been essential to the structure (Frei Otto), and the use of attraction and repulsion to create dynamic forms (Alisa Andresek). 



The colour scheme and texturing was designed to blend in with the surrounding environment. Frei Otto's designs are very environmentally orientated. You can see forms of nature within his monuments. My idea was to blend the monument into the landscape. 



This monument demonstrates the use of attraction and repulsion to create dynamic forms similarly to Alisa Andresek. The two long rods piercing the hollow circular objects are like magnets which are repelling the hollow objects from touching.
