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.
