First Floor Plan

 

Second Floor Plan

Couple of things were considered in the planning of the building.

First, I wanted a transition of public/casual to private/formal as you move towards the centre/front of the building. Hence on the two outer edges (the most outer part), I placed the two meeting spaces which I thought were the most public and casual spaces. And in the very centre (or front) is the offices and classrooms.

Also I wanted to separate the student areas from the staff areas, and yet maintain a good 'flow' and circulation within the building. So I placed all the staff offices/research lab in the first floor, and the classrooms, comp labs and lecture theatre upstairs.

And through the use of two sets of stairs and by joining the two ends on first floor using the entrance/elevator area, I was able to obtain a doughnut-shaped circulation in both first and second floor.

Cryengine Problems! :(

1. At first, after importing my sketchup model to cryengine, my person couldn't stand on the building (i.e. falls through my surface)

2. A day later, I can't even import my sketchup to cryengine. Hence I can't put in my final model (basically the same as the one in the photo, but with textures).
Worst case scenario, I would have to show my final model with textures through sketchup, and use the draft one in cryengine

36 moving textures (exp3)

Article Mash-up

Architecture is inseparable from planning, and the huge challenge for the current generation is the growth and shrinkage of cities. It is about finding new ways of ecological and economical development, using instead of reducing and maximizing rather than minimizing. Just as Google isn’t just a search engine, the new ideas of architecture are not just beautiful buildings but a key driver in the evolutionary process of society. Equally, space, then, is not simply a placeholder that allows people to move from one functional space to another. It isn’t just there because it needs to be. Building a successful city where production, administration, living, recreation and creativity co-exist in every square mile.
A decade ago, few people even recognized this was a real issue and even today it is hardly ever mentioned, which is what makes this such a radical agenda.


Instead of having the bridge and the uni as two separate components, I've incorporated the uni in the bridge; merging them together. So the bridge isn't just a bridge, and the uni isn't just a uni.
Not just that, the way the uni interacts with its environment to make the most out of the environment, and not simply 'a uni on a bridge that joins a valley'.
So not only was this a many valued choice that satisfied deveral requirements at once, but I was able to make the building more than just a space for students to study.
