The concepts In the Model

1.Concept of architectural efficiency in regards to spatial qualities and elements, ( creates a sense of productivity of the space used and building design) which stems from each level seeming overlapping with the previous, creating a sense of flow from floor to floor.

2.framing public space and "forcing" users to experience a particular view on a certain space or object within a space, inducing a entirely new perspective in regards to the "overwatching" and subconscious observation, (allowing for manipulation of certain scenic outlooks).

The theme chosen was sustainability, how this coincides with the selected concepts and the building is that the framing of public space allows for many openings and windows in the building that allow for a lot of natural light to organically flow into the building, but also providing shade when there  is an excess or abundance of light. Also staying true to the nature of sejima and Niemeyer buildings, the design with incorporate clean white surfaces that help take advantage of the natural light flowing through the building, hitting and reflecting off the white surfaces to decrease the need and energy used in artificial lighting. Also the lack of walls defined in the interior in regards to architectural and spatial efficiency of the building also lowers the amount of materials and embodied carbon used to construct the sustainable building.

As a secondary theme, I feel as though the idea of multicultural students and staff of UNSW also coincides with my model as the free flowing fluidity of curved geometry as well as the fluid circulation generated by the layering of levels in my model combined with the lack of spatial definition enables users to interact in the upper spaces of the rest areas as well as waiting for the light rail on the lower platform. the areas are inherently "connected as one public space."

EXP 2 WEEK 3 Lumion Light rail Station

The  concepts that were chosen from Oscar Niemeyer and Kazuyo Sejima were the ideas of using architectural design and structure to framing public space via facilitating particular outlooks and adding layering in design enabled for free flowing fluidity. Both concepts seeking to interlink with the theme of  sustainability as the concept of framing public space creates a multitude of openings and and windows to allow natural light to pass through, hence lowering need for artificial lighting.  

Exterior View 1

The intergration of a large bold geometric structure allows for the framing of the Arch which create two particular spaces that allowed users to inhabit and experience particular views. with light rail travelling through the space provided and moving cars underground

Interior View 

In terms of the interior the many components of creating layers of levels without extending them to the walls naturally encourages a range of free flowing circulation between floors.

Exterior View 2

curved arch on the second floor creates an inhabitable space that affects how users look into and out of the space.

Exterior View 3

Another aspect of the building that encourages the framing of space is the abundance of windows providing outlooks in all directions. the rectangular patterns situated underneath the curved super geometry allow for the users perspective and view to be "framed" by architecture. sustainability is embodied through the natural light bouncing off the white surfaces decreasing need for energy used for artificial lighting.

EXP 2 WEEK 2 Parallel Projections

Parallel Projection 1 (Front and Rear)

Concept 1: Framing Public space in regards to how the users have a specific perspective or outlook and interaction on a particular space or particular object in a space

+

Concept 2: Sense of architectural efficiency in regards to spatial qualities attributed to the use of free flowing fluidity used in "layering" and overlapping elements

Parallel Projection 2 (Front and Rear)

Concept 1: Framing Public space in regards to how the users have a specific perspective or outlook, and interaction with a particular space or particular object in a space

+

Concept 2: The incorporation of natural lighting flowing into the building in regards to the design of buildings

Parallel Projection 3 (Front and rear)

 Concept 1: Visual and spatial Continuity/ Liberation from angular geometry

+

Concept 2: Scale and proportion interlinking and correlating with simplicity to create new spatial definition and functionality

EXP 2 WEEK 1 Axonometrics and concepts

this was An axonometric inspired by the idea of framing public space and "forcing" users to experience a particular view on a certain space or object within a space, inducing a entirely new perspective in regards to the "overwatching" and subconscious observation, (allowing for manipulation of certain scenic outlooks)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the concept imbedded into Kazuyo Sejima's Work. the idea correlates to Sejima's concept of architectural efficiency in regards to spatial qualities and "layering elements" ( creates a sense of productivity of the space used and building design) which stems from each level seeming overlapping with the previous, creating a sense of flow from floor to floor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Niemeyers idea of framing public space and "forcing" users to experience a particular view on a certain space or object within a space, inducing a entirely new perspective in regards to the "overwatching" and subconscious observation, (allowing for manipulation of certain scenic outlooks).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is based off the Niemeyers idea that the scale and proportion can correlate to simplicity in architecture to allow for what would be "simple designs" to bring new dimensions and perspectives in regards to spatial definition and functionality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Concept behind this axonometric is Sejima's use and intergration of natural light into her buildings

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Concept behind this axonometric is framing public space and "forcing" users to experience a particular view on a certain space or object within a space, inducing a entirely new perspective in regards to the "overwatching" and subconscious observation, (allowing for manipulation of certain scenic outlooks).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This axonometric relates to Niemeyers concept of visual and spatial continuity, spanning from a bold use of curves and space allow for senses of liberation from angular geometry, capitalizing on the aesthetically pleasing qualities of interconnected and sense of movement created by the curved architecture.

EXP2 WEEK 1 Starting Lumion Model

  Week One's Lumion Model was based off the concept imbedded into Kazuyo Sejima's Work. the idea correlates to Sejima's concept of architectural efficiency in regards to spatial qualities and "layering elements" ( creates a sense of productivity of the space used and building design) which stems from each level seeming overlapping with the previous, creating a sense of flow from floor to floor.
