EXP3 - 5 Real Time Images

The student spaces are located entirely within the large wooden module, whereas the staff spaces are located in the concrete cube

The studio space features a texture of 'erratic' movement, one that I think mirrors my movement through any design process. It's liable to change at any second, and placing it in a studio is a reminder that that's okay. The studio doubles as the computer labs because I, as the dean, have decided to give everyone a state of the art laptop.

The arms extend between the far end of the UNSW side of the building, giving direct access to the stairwell, and the gallery space. Its movement is best seen here.

Clockwise from top left: Gallery, General Staff/Academic Research Space, Workshop, Library, Academic Offices, Student Meeting Room, General Staff Office.

To see the movement of the two arms and the gallery space, you have to open Layers and click through POSITION 1, 2 and 3.

I chose to look at Diller and Scofidio's 'Slow House' when setting a precedent for my school of architecture. I was initially intrigued by the concept of expansion throughout the plan, and more broadly, the idea of a journey.





The drawing on the top right of the page is the plan-to-section modification I came up with.


The first implementation of this design was in the general form of this space, intended to be the design studio, following the curvature. I decided not to include the skylights on the top as they seemed unnecessary given the huge window.


I took the skylight design and placed them on top of the moving arms. Given the fact that they're essentially very long closed tunnels, they need to get light from somewhere.

This gif shows the major moving aspect of my school of architecture, and its path of movement. They are two large bending arms, approximately 60m long each. It changes between providing access solely to the bulk of the architecture school to creating a bridge over Anzac Parade to the top of NIDA, where I intend on further building upon the school.
