Full draft of outcomes

Theory:

Natural light through undulating structure affects spatiality, ambiance and typology of a designated location.

3 sketch perspective drawing:

36 custom textures :

2 animated drawings:

1 sketchUp model with 2 moving elements:

the vertical square is on top of NIDA, and it is joined by 3 distinct bridges from the squarehouse, which has an upgrade of two square boxes. The bridge to the left in the image is the academic bridge, its higher than the student bridge, hence minimum disruption from pedestrians. The bridge to the right is the studednt bridge, it is closer to the pedestrian bridge and it is larger than the academics bridge. The small simple pedestrian bridge at the centre is open-aired, so it is subject to light influence via the two other bridge, hence influencing spatiality, ambiance and typology of the pedestrian bridge. 

moving  elements:

moving shades that adjust to various sun positions (allow more/ less light)

moving bridge that connects student bridge to pedestrian bridge (when studio begin/ end)

How it relates to theory:

the twisitng cube structure is "undulating"

he small simple pedestrian bridge at the centre is open-aired, so it is subject to light influence via the two other bridge, hence influencing spatiality, ambiance and typology of the pedestrian bridge. 

some vertical gardens hanging from the exterior of the sides facing the pedestrian bridge? to change ambiance?

1 lumion environment:

refer to the real times image captures?

anyway heres a rough animation of the moving shades

5 real time image capture (NOTE: yellow is a placeholder colour)

(optional) 120 s animation:

Week 8 work: Plans

Improved plans based on other plans

I have chosen the plan of Villa Marea by Alvar Aalto to improve upon as the plan for the bridge. The main change I made to the plan was moving the large living space to the right and treat it as the lecture hall. The leftmost and rightmost sides represent NIDA and Squarehouse respectively

1st level of the bridge

2nd level of the bridge

Reimagined Section

 By completing the frame in the plan of Villa Marea, I have created a square section that consists of three levels. This section represents one of the alternating square section across the span of the bridge.

Iteration 1 of the Bridge

The resultant model for the plans and section produced such a shape, in which its altering shape echoes with the nature of both the study of built environment and drama - the fact that they are ever-changing but clings to certain traditions and conventions. The simplistic square shape represents the basic conventions, while the twisting pattern showcases their changing nature.

Research into the area context

The area around the Squarehouse

Aerial View of the structures surrounding the squarehouse

Since my plan is to connect NIDA and the squarehouse, the bridge will need to cross ANZAC Parade. However, there are multiple large trees blocking such connections, which prevent the bridge from staying close to ground.

Images on NIDA and the squarehouse (credit to Charles Hung)

The bridge can connect to the empty space on the roof above the foyer of NIDA centre, while the bridge can connect to the third floor or the roof of the squarehouse to minimalise impact to vegetations.

 The blue circle in the plans of squarehouse indicate a suggestion to expand the staircase of the Squarehouse to accomodate for an influx of pedestrian movement of the bridge.

Week 7 Work

Massing elements on the cross

Second iteration of the cross

The additional mass is added to the previous cross structure after careful consideration of the area required for each facility included in the structure. The workshop and the lecture hall would have similar sizes due to a predicted diminishment in lecture significance in the future. They will both be located on the first level of the bridge as it would be inconvenient to transport heavy machinery at higher levels. The gallery would take up the majority of the spaces at this level as this level would have the densest pedestrian movement. 

The second level would be reserved for student use, where studio and meeting rooms are located. The third level would be for staff use, where research work can be conducted furthest away from the pedestrian movement.

Alternative Concepts on the cross massing

New theory 

Natural light through undulating structure affects spatiality, ambiance and typology of a designated location.

Key words:

1. Spatiality
2. Natural light 
3. Undulated
4. Ambiance
5. Typology

These images included in the articles demonstrate the significance of light in altering the atmosphere of the building, making them resembling nothing like the sensation of an airport.
