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

Animated Axonometrics

Models: Sketchup & Lumion
