THE BRIDGE

THEORY:

The culmination of all transformative experiences derive from the journey involved.

CONCEPT:

Circulation within an educational space requires a collaboration between theoretical and practical learning.

Draft Plan/Design Concept

Aim of design was to create a cohesive circulation path between important spaces within the school.

Consideration on the placement of spaces:

1. Studio + Workshop + Computer Lab (collaboration of spaces in terms of theoretical vs practical learning spaces)

2. Studio + Student Meeting Room

3. Staff Offices + Staff Meeting Room

4. Lecture Theatre + Library

5. Library + Computer Labs

Consideration of upcoming lightrail station on Anzac Parade

Original design

Entrances/Exits are located facing important areas of UNSW (lightrail station, roundhouse/squarehouse and gym).

Note: Alteration to Second Floor -- All three spaces are combined in the final design

Models: Sketchup & Lumion

Ideas of minimalism and transparency were key in the design to retain focus on the workshop and its display of work. By using a limited selection of basic materials (stone, concrete and glass) was I able to accomplish my goal. Furthermore, the choice of glass is prominent in both workshops to create a relationship between both spaces and additionally bring natural sunlight inside the building aiming down on the workshops, showroom and creations. The showroom is below the Off-white workshop and extends outside to an area similar to a public space. To mirror AutoFabrica and Off-white's brand values of creation, the long distances required to travel from one workshop to another is an incorporation of a sense of journey and freedom.

Section Sketch

The inspiration behind my model is based off this sketch. It has since changed because the upper workshop was too difficult to mould and combine my ideas together.
