Week 12

Week 12:

Lecture: Design Criteria.

This week’s lecture covered some important points to consider for the presentation. I have decided not to attempt a physical model for this assignment even though I usually would. I don’t believe I have enough time to do it justice this time. The focus seems to be very much on process, blog and back story – so this is what I will focus my time on.

Tutorial: Project Development.

This week I am concentrating on how my sections could work in plan.

 
This plan view spans Latrobe Terrace and includes two large voids along a canyon-like central foyer.
 
Here I have broken the form apart to create three volumes. The round hole will accommodate the automated mechanism. Open green-space is provided on both street corners. Functions (left to right) are transit centre, entertainment centre, distribution centre.
 
Still working with volumes.
 
 
 

This image is beginning to look at how deliveries might be made (in red cross-hatch). Also opens the green-space to Warmington St. I have created a void over Latrobe Tce to allow natural light onto the street below and create a point of interest for the transit area.
 
 
Some more 'form-fondling'. This time the automated mechanism is surrounded by a viewing platform.
 
 
This is a simplified version of an earlier design. It shows the position of the proposed subway mag-lev station (bottom left). I tried a slanted ‘entertainment wall on the carpark/delivery block. It will entertain patrons viewing from the adjacent balconies.
