Experiment 3: 18 Perspective Drawings

Experiment 3: Mashup

The Theory: Creativity is enhanced through the exploration of spaces. The bridge contains a network of bridges and pathways which lead to creative spaces of the university. The building is a cave in a sense that students are limited to the confines of the bridge, just like you are limited within the confines of the wall in a cave. The exploration through the bridge leads students to creative spaces of the school; influencing and inspiring the student to be creative.

Experiment 3: Elevator

The elevator starts in the middle of the valley and moves towards the outside edges of the "horse shoe." As the elevator pulls outwards from the centre, the field of view widens at the same time allowing full perspective of the environment.

Later on this environment will contain buildings, where this elevator will lead into a landing zone at the peak of the horse shoe.

THE IMAGE CAPTURES AND ARCHITECTURE

My electro-liquid aggregation quote:

"The organic structures isolated in a natural environment not only integrates itself into its surroundings but also becomes the main focus of the landscape"

1) Ken Yeang - Monument 1 represents the integrating of a building into its environment. This structure somewhat mimics rock shelves/cliffs protruding out of the mountain face. Although it is made up of organic rectangular shapes, I tried to integrate it into its surroundings by using a mix of natural materials (stone, timber) and my own textures.

2) Simple monument composed of organic shapes, structured to mimic a tree. I feel the monument compliments the island it is situated on. The island contains little vegetation, which brings the focus more on the monument.

3) The meeting point for architecture students is located in between both monuments. It contains a log benches, a fireplace and two brick structures which "frame" the architecture when situated at the right angle. Benches behind the brick frame provide a point where students can sit and observe the architecture through the frame. (This can be seen in the post called "Landform". Click here to view)

Electro-liquid Aggregation

“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”

Lars Spuybroek, [1998] Motor Geometry, Architectural Design, Vol 68 No 5/6, p5

Concept 1: Ken Yeang 

Eco-Architecture - Buildings are integrated with the environment 

Concept 2: Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Use of simple forms and natural materials

Rewritten concept based on electro-liquid aggregation:

"The organic structures isolated in a natural environment not only integrates itself into its surroundings but also becomes the main focus of the landscape"

LIGHTING

LANDFORM

The most significant item/structure in the meeting point is the brick feature acting as a "frame" that focuses on the architecture within the environment.
