Experiment 2 Initial Thoughts


Design Constraints: 
  • Don’t mess with other buildings
  • Don’t mess with trees
  • Don’t clutter up the walkways with supports 
  • Don’t scare people with heights(- it is inappropriate/in-decorous to have a glass floor for a lecture theatre too distracting)
  • Don’t compromise the functionality of the space- skimp out on lecture theatres and workshops
  • Don’t connect redundantly to buildings
  • Don't Just make a clip-on building


A Bridge-based design approach has been designated for the undertaking of a new school of architecture, thus one must outline and respond to the sensitive limitations which arise from such a unique design brief.

The foremost issue that arises is the sensitivity of the natural and built environment to demolition due to their practical and historic value. All surrounding buildings are spaces in their own right and so must be respected within planning, connecting to spaces is important but one must ensure not to diminish the value of other buildings and spaces through the construction of this new school. Similarly, natural elements must be preserved, not just due to their heritage listing but because of their important role within people’s lives and livelihoods, making it essential to incorporate them within the design. Below pictures of the site demonstrate the extensive cover of trees.

The initial model was made of paper at 1:50, hence everything seemed pliable allowing me to make important decisions on larger elements; including the forms, windows and doors. A 1:20 cardboard iteration provided rigidity in form diverting focus to the furniture, its intricacies and arrangement, within the allotted spaces. An additional light source allowed me to refine a space (the upstairs living quarters) by altering the forms in a more decorous manner. Pleased with the quality of the output I will henceforth endeavour to include model making within ...
