Project 3-Architectural School.

08:52 Unknown 0 Comments

Organic Architecture is something i find very fascinating in terms of what it can offer to the society and most importantly to us as humans.  It is essential to build something today with this concept in mind, since mother nature is what we built on upon. This architectural school i wanted to focus on how this complex is able to capture the surrounding environment (the campus), thus connecting students, the landscape and building-ultimately leading to the meaning of a Bridge. This school is intended to link the roundhouse to the gymnasium, encouraging innovation in one and providing health benefits in the other. Training the Mind and the Body. In this building, i used lots of glass to extend the connection between campus and students as well as a rock climbing components to further enhance this experience. Although there is not much nature to be captured, in this project the "campus" is the nature, thus that is my intention to capture and highlight it's environment.


The animation below is to demonstrate how one will perceive the model in real life environment, as well as a walk through/overview of it.

Experiement 3:Animation/ Textures

The above animation shows an overview and sets the context. I chose to connect the square house to the gymnasium, and this bridge is also an architectural school. I have applied several textures, to match and explore "movement" through this building. This was based on Frank Lloyd Wright's ideology of "Organic Architecture". Although there is not much of vegetation around the site, I have shifted the focus of capturing nature to rather the University.
This school has 2 main entries, the above is the frontal and can be accessed from the back of the square house (second level) and into the heart of the new school. As i mentioned before, wall climbing is one of the schools moving element as well as exploring a unique relation formed between people and architecture. One is able to interact with people who is doing the activity and vice versa. This particular pathway explores a relationship between exterior and interior where i believe is the most interesting area of the building. Also the entry is where i think one can decide according to one's mood, feeling because these stairs or path acts as a choice of movement and i think its interesting to explore options.


The final movement is towards the gym, where one is directly taken to the entrance. I have shaped the tunnel in such way that suggests speed which i intent to match the purpose of this gateway. The wide facade at the bottom is not only a support, but i wanted contrast between horizontal and vertical movement from shapes (tunnels and curve facade), also there is enough room for cars to go pass. In addition people who can use this space for training, shelter.

This texture was from the group (scalar translation), which i wanted to use this pattern to convey ability to move throughout space with unordinary movement.

This came from the group 'flow", which i extracted the movement of waves and combined this "shift" with the wide facade at the bottom, as if the building is flowing between horizontal to vertical.

Belong to the group "mobility", as i was trying to express in terms of relationship between space and light and how "gaps" can create a sense of movement and being mobile. As shown, 5 layers are painted with different colour, one is to capture attention and i wanted to use this eye catching as a sense of mood setting when one is approaching the building. Joyful.

This is another texture from "flow", incorporated into the mini bridge not only to emphasis the movement it is creating. As well as highlight transition between elements within the complex, thus forming a sense of flow.

Experiment 3: Thinking process

Few changes I've made towards the Villa Savoye's section. I have chose to extend the curved side of the plan so more space can be utilized. The mini bridge concept i have mentioned before are created from the section using the curve on side as shown above. Consequently, by experimenting with these curving I've created some interesting shape that can form a unique space when one interlock with another.
