EXPERIMENT 3: THE BRIDGE

Image
Final Model The entrance of the campus is between the round house and square house. Part of the building extends out toward NIDDA theater across UNSW. Its structure is enclosed by a wavy-like envelope and circular glass windows.  The three level library is a semi-circle column and it has a glass wall entrance from the main campus area. The four levels are connected by a spiral staircase.  The gallery has window bubbles and glass window ceiling for natural light to come through. A study space located in front of the large glass window enables students to enjoy the view of the university life, to get inspirations from surrounding environment. The pathway to the lecture halls is semi-open, where shading above it is placed and can be retractable. Moving Elements The lecture hall can be divided into two for smaller and bigger lectures, so that 100 or more students can fit all in one lecture hall The shading above the pathwa

Light Rail Station The floating blue rectangles were inspired by one of Le Corbusier's five points of techniques which is roof gardens. Although there are no plants on it, the floating polygons creates a sense of elevation above the ground. One of Le Corbusier's five points of architecture is pilotis which is adding columns to a building. This picture shows that the cylindrical columns are added, inspired by Le Corbusier. The outer shell of the light rail station is inspired by Servo Stolkholm in which it gives a sense of two combined elements meshing into one spatial structure. The light rail station is lifted above the ground level, hence representing Le Corbusier's architectural style. The picture below shows that the enclosure of the lightrail station has glass windows which was inspired by Le Corbusier's  Notre dame du haut, ronchamp, France, 1954 which has many coloured glass windows all over the walls. The model was based of
