Individual Images

Directionality of lines is emphasised through contrasting oreintations
and a lack of clear perspectival order.

Scale is visible through the juxtapostion shadows cast by the trees and padestrians.
Space is created by voids left between the landscaping, allowing for pedestrian motion.
Contrast within the floor surfaces differenciates
shared zones from exclusively padestrian areas.
Balance is created by offsetting the jagged purtusions of the ladnscaping edge and the building
with the stable, simple and repetitive longitudinal lines.
Colours originating from the various materials, textures and shades
 blend harmoniously to create a lively space. 
Textures are emphasized through the contrast of the airy vegetation against the dense, coarse brickwork.
Alignment accomates usage as the tables with power ports, aligned North-South
are always spanned by the shadows of buildings or the trees making the space acessable all day.
Proximity: is used subtly to space the landscaping edge away from the rooms
 to reduce the travel of noise whilst mainting a reasonable footpath width.
Shapes are organic within the balustrade that naturally conforms aorund the ramp.
Lines visualised through the unifrom geometry of the coloumns, lights,
and tiles,seem to converge alomost perspectivally at the hallway's end.



Repetition of elements including: bricks, tiles lamps and façadal columns
 is rendered emphatic by the perspective.

Custom Textures

‘Abrasive’ provides uniquely personal and beautiful (in the Burkean sense) texture within an otherwise monolithic, geometric space. It fosters a fascinating interplay between the privileged viewpoints of the car and the workspace, microcosmically embodying the challenges and values imbued within the space, and its design.  Light heartedness of the colouration in ‘Smooth’ helps to define a generally pleasant and artistic building inviting the viewer into the gallery. Its application onto the large draping canopy suggesting a unique approach to design, manifesting as a curiosity towards the gallery and the work within.     The darker ‘Etched’ texture was imposed disjunctively upon the roof structure to emphasise the genteel nature of the curvatures. It was employed away from areas of congregation as to not overpower the observers scale, but instead contrast against the more circular, glistening, white roofs; made further graceful by those geometric shadows overcast.  

Week 7 Iterative Imagined Space.

This week has a focus on photography and so students were asked to iterate the imagined space model whilst considering and improving tis photogenics. Since the macro form had already been developed last week,  I opted for a larger scale of 1:20 to allow for further detailing and more furniture , here's how I did it! Please bear with me whilst I attempt a more interactive version of my flipbook presentation, this one should hopefully describe all the steps with some key observations, please comment below on which style you prefer, and thank you in advance for any suggestions. Just as before, thick carboard prevented neat cutting and folding. A sheet of fridge box was cut and had face profiles drawn. Using a Stanley knife the profiles were cut, leaving the faces exposed The exposed faces provided datum for drawing detailed interior features. Initial problems with profiling were allowed for a creative solution to this week's requirements  which state...

Draft Submission

Stage 1: Conception  Introduction  Imagine you are the Dean of a school of Architecture or Engineering. Your school has 100 students who are drawn from all around the world and are supported by scholarships. Your challenge is to design a school that forms a bridge spanning buildings in an urban environment. The urban environment is the lower part of the "UNSW Sydney" Kensington campus; the central building is the Squarehouse (building E4 on this map). In addition, you will design two moving elements that modify the students' view of the school when they see it from locations on the ground plane vs locations above ground level. These different points of view will reinforce or challenge your particular "Theory".
