EXP1: Developed Model

EXPERIMENT ONE: THE DATUM
Assessment 2: Developed Stairs and Architecture

Perspectives
Perspective 1 - Front Exterior View

 The gallery area and client 1's studio workspace is shown, the interior visible due to the transparent glass shell, creating the illusion of a delicate structure and thin 'skin' which encases the two levels.


Perspective 2 - Interior Entrance View

 As the viewer enters on the ground floor they are met with an open gallery space and a view of both stair cases. The stairs that lead up to client 1's studio appears to be precariously hung from the ceiling on thin strands and made almost entirely of glass. Each step ends in a point, sloping elegantly to its vertex.

Perspective 3 - Gallery Space Layout

 Higher vantage point of gallery space, showing material detail of both stair cases and main layout. Trent Jansen's chair is displayed in front of panels/wall partitions and 4 marble stands are centred on the floor with images of Mountain & Moon's jewellery pieces.
Due to the hanging nature of the glass staircase, viewers may also walk underneath it, providing a more open space and engaging experience for gallery goers.

Perspective 4 - View of Above Studio

The multi-coloured glass wall on the top level where Mountain & Moon's studio is located serves as an accent wall, comprised of more opaque panes to highlight the vibrancy of each panel's hues. The colours are directly picked from jewellery pieces made by the client to provide a more personal effect.
Sectional Perspectives
Sectional Perspective 1 - Above Ground Levels

This angle displays an idea of the relationship between the above level areas; studio and gallery space. Many material aspects of the top studio reflect the level directly below it, in the marble floor, glass walls and textured display panels/wall partitions.

Sectional Perspective 2 - Below Ground Studio


 Image depicts Trent Jansen's underground studio where the whole floor's layout is visible. The floor's shape shows how each wall takes sharp turns, lending itself to an overall fragmented visual effect from bird's eye view.

The space is smaller and more enclosed than the gallery area on ground level to a provide a more personalised and stylised space, appropriate for Jansen's practice making small ceramics and variously sized furniture. The walls separate smaller spaces that could potentially be used as workshop areas or storage rooms for his pieces. 


Sectional Perspective 3 - Bottom and Middle Ground Horizontal View

 This angle shows the stairs intended for Trent Jansen to transport his works up to the middle ground gallery space. It's sturdy, wooden material reflects the physical nature of his work, however it's fragmented structure with each step separate to each other speaks more to his conceptual practice in exploring ideas surrounding the fractured society caused by Australia's invasion during the First Fleet.

BRIDGE FINAL SUBMISSION (EXP2)

Theory (5%) Architectural design is distinctly informed by its ability to facilitate fluid movement in a dynamic way, through the flexibility of its physical form; thus, unique connections between people and spaces are formed, by blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior, and  natural and artificial. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Architecture (50%) Immediate focus is drawn towards the white piping that runs across the glass body, defining the curves of the bridge's shape. The overall design is intended to recall the natural environment , the lines inspired by geological rock forms, the ripples and motion of water, aged trees and landscape contours. The structure's transparency creates an open atmosphere and strengthens connections between students through the visibility while also creating a direct contact to the natural environment from inside the building. The repetition of organic wooden shap

WEEK 02 Independent Study

T H E  P L A N Reimagining Zaha Hadid's Riverside Museum Ground Plan as Bridge Section and Floor Plan In line with my theory of fluid movement, the curved shapes and dynamic form of Zaha Hadid's Riverside Museum immediately caught my interest due to these characteristics of her architecture .  Task : take a ground plan and use it to influence the bridge from top view. Then rotate it 90 degrees to inform the bridge's section as well. Below:  Planning and process drawings transforming ground plan into section pan   Bubble Diagram showing room layout Below : Earlier sketches and rough ideas, trying to implement ideas of flowing architecture to imply fluid movement  I envisioned the main body of the bridge to comprise of a large, curved glass form with contour lines running across the shape to provide visual depth and interest. Below is an image of the Foundation Louis Vuitton by Frank Gehry which also inspired the aesth

Experiment 1: The Stair Conceptual Model

C O N C E P T U A L  S T A I R M O D E L Client: Mountain & Moon Location: Ground level to Above Ground Studio SCHEME 1: STAIR DESIGN 1 (ground to top)  SKETCH UP MODEL IMAGES (DESIGN 1) material selection: varnished timber Inspiration drawn from the Maiko earrings (Mountain & Moon), which influenced the choice of the words ‘ fall’  and  ‘echo’ , is emulated through the design’s uniformity and repetition, accented by subtle asymmetries such as the alternate directions that each frame curves in. The delicateness and intricacy of the client’s work is juxtaposed against the structure’s simplicity in both its unambiguous form and wooden material, and the strict verticality of each structure mimics the motion of cascading stairs, further emphasised by its curved corners.
