EXP3:THE BRIDGE

MASH UP

My own theory:
Imange I am the Dean of School of Architecture,and in order to approach to the purpose to this assignment (THE BRIDGE), my building should connect the building which have relationship to the School of Architecture. Therefore, I hvae my own theoy: The shape of natural elements can be used to shape the structural supports for an architecture. And every part is visible to make people be personally on the scene as vivid as possible.

18 SKETCH PERSPECTIVES

36 TEXTURES

The additional words are DRIFT, FLUID and STRETCH. All of them can used to describe the element in natural environment, which approach to my theory.

Chosen textures:

Stretch

Fluid

Drift

Library Floor

Lecture Floor

Wall

2 MOVING ELEMENTS

Two curve walls can move around the centre in different angles to define a space. The outer wall is a bit larger than the inner one.

general idea of the moving element

In this case, I used one pair of walls to define one small space that can be a private study area for students. When two or more pair of walls are arranged to define a large space, this area can be a meeting room for a group of a student. Besides, on the top of the larger space, there will be a small comptuer lab on the higher level. A staircase will lead people up to the lab.

The shape of the ceilingin the balcony is like a tree that respect to my theory. The 'tree branch' can span or stretch which give the lovely shadow. It can also shelter from some sunshine. And this is use to be the supproting structure.

The chosen plan

Developed of plan

Draft

Lumion images

The draft model connect to the Square House and Round House, the purpose for this connection is make it easy for students to transfer through these two building easily.

DEVELOPED MODEL IMAGES

The developed model has changed the site and the relationship to the surrounding buildings. This model only connect to the Square House. Because the model is School of Architecture and the Square House serve the architecture students mostly. The connection between them increase the convenience.

The structure of the model is hierarchical structure and it looks like some stones stack together. This structure contain the idea of using natural element to shape the structural supports, which support my theory.
