Week 5 Cross Sketches




Week 5 Movement Theory

Keywords:

1> integration
2> voids
3> connections
4> artistically
5> functionally


Theory:

The integration of elements, including the transformation between layers, the connections among parts, and the relationships between voids and solids, could contribute to the circulation and movement of the architecture which would maximize its value both artistically and functionally.

Week 5 Cross Lumion Image

View from above TETB


As can be seen from the above images that the circulation cross connects to 5 buildings for certain reasons, these buildings include the Squarehouse, the Roundhouse, the Blockhouse, the TETB, and the Law Building. The connection to the Squarehouse was designed due to its entertainment purpose. In order to provide a comfortable and quiet study environment, a connection was designed to the Law Building. Another connection was made to the TETB under the same academic purpose to the Law Building. The TETB also possesses labs and other academic materials which would be benefitial to students. A connection to the Blockhouse was made in order to provide another access to the circulation cross from the Blockhouse. At last it was connected to the Squarehouse as well.

Week-4 Developed Perspective Images


This is the front left perspective of the architecture. The two visible floors are the showroom and the Trent Jansen Studio workshop. The word for this workshop was "wave", represented by the three main stone elements which are of different height and width forming a waving image.



This is the front right perspective of the architecture. It shows the three main stone elements of the above ground portion.


This is the left perspective of the architecture. It shows all three floors of this architecture. The basement is the Mountain & Moon workshop. The huge window built according to the landscape assures the lighting for the underground workshop.

Words Alteration

After consideration concerning a better design idea, I ve decided to change my word for Mountain & Moon from "flicker" to "layering" and the Trent Jansen Studio stays "wave". The art piece chosen in the first blog which the words are describing remain the same.
The design scheme was changed twice in order to demonstrate a better understanding of the designs of the chosen words.


The above model was a new design compared to the previous section, however, this design was then considered not very unique and not presenting the words well. Therefore, an other model was designed as below.

ARCH1101 Week 3: 36 textures








ARCH1101 Week 2 : New stair model

The stair model was considered not meeting the standard by my tutor, therefore I designed a new stair model as shown below.







The stair-set is mainly seperated into three parts, namly the part from ground to middle, the part from middle to the work shop, and the part on the side where people seat and rest. The design concept is the balance formed by every disordered elements, and no piece in this design is identical.
This stair set goes from the showroom to the above-ground workshop, which belongs to the Trent Jansen Studio.

This stair connects the ground level with the workshop of the Trent Jansen Studio on the upper level. The stair is designed transparent above a flowing water pool in order to create an image of a mountain stream to correspond to the natural theme of the Trent Jansen Stdio's designs. The two-way stair is  split by a set of handrails in the middle. The stair has vegetations on its RHS and an open-water area on its LHS. There is an elevating platform that goes along with stream which allows designers to carry their artifects form the workshop to the showroom in an easier manner. Additionally, calculations and measurements were completed to make sure that the stairset can be put into practice.
