Experiment 3 - Final Submission

Mash up

The architecture should correspond to the topography and geoprahphy conditions. And the architect should also effectively use the surrounding materials."The 60’-wide circular living is surmounted by a conical dome that fans out in nine petals between nine clerestories angled up to bring in light. Retractable curved glass curtain walls open the entire living room and pool terrace to panoramic views of Mount San Jacinto, Mount San Gorgonio and the full sweep of the valley below and mountain ranges beyond." "The street-side façade is virtually "blind" and works as a high protective wall for the interior of the house and grounds, allowing total privacy throughout house which opens out to the south and west sides." A glass bridge allows light come into the house.

Sketchup Model

2 Moving Elements

Moving Roof

The polygon on the top of the roof will scale up when the sunlight is strong. It can help to prevent too much sunlight to coming into the building.

Moving Wall
The size of the studios and workshops can be changed freely by this moving wall.

Draft Lumion Model

First Draft

Two paths from the two different buildings intersected and create a centre for the bridge.

Second Draft

There are two small blocks distributed along the paths and beside the centre.

This is the elevation of the draft building that facing the Anzac Parade.

This is one of the entrances of the central building.

Developed Lumion Model

The site plan indicates the location of the bridge building.

A path is created surrounding the centre.

This is one of the small blocks. It is for gallery and library. It is surrounded by grass.

There are two levels in the centre.

This is the other small blocks besides the centre, which is for lecture theater. And a small pool surrounds it.

The inside of the lecture theater. The high windows let natural light come in.

Experiment 2 - Final Submission

Two Concepts

1. Intersecting Planes and Created Spaces (Peter Eisenman)

In Peter Eisenman's architectures, he made the planes intersect to create spaces, in order to identify different usage of spaces and make a space more outstanding. In my design of the station, I use this concept as the station's appearance, to separate a specific area for the station.

2. Opposition of Heavy and Light (Aldo Van Eyck)

Aldo Van Eyck used different materials, sizes and shapes of things to make a strong contrast in his architecture. This not only attract people for its appearance, but also leads people to think about its structure and the meaning between "light and heavy". In my design, I use this concept to build the structure of the station.
