E3 Week 3 - Sections and First Draft

Sections:

The plan that the following sections were based off, Herzog de Meuron's House for a New Media Collector.

Cross section elevation (across Anzac Parade).

Floor plan section. The walls will be a contrast between heavy, opaque materials, and transparent glass both crossing past each other.

The theory following Meuron's design was to create a flow from one room to the next with continuous walls across the structure. In comparison to my own theory,

"The sprawling nature of true architecture will always be controversial, a contrast between 

the intimidating and the vibrant".

having these flowing spaces along a bridge which is spanning a major road will be intimidating, showing a unique pathway from any viewpoints.

SketchUp Draft:

A simple draft focusing on the aspect of the building that shares curves to create spaces, and more of a test rather than a definite idea. More based off the cross section than the floor plan, the planis to integrate this better later on.

E3 Week 2 - 2 Point Perspectives and More

2 Point Perspective Sketches:

Modular attachments and detachments.

Hanging shells form open spaces.

Deconstruction leads to new pathways.

Large arches create simple serenity.

Domed in the center of bustling movement. 

Hanging floors by a thread.

The Moving Elements:

 

I had an idea to have the central lecture hall become a real focal point of the structure. As far as the movement goes, the lecture can either be completely closed off, or open to the sky during which the layers can now serve as shelter for seating areas around the hall. Movement in Lumion was a struggle with this one so I gave up and just exported from SketchUp.
