Experiment 3


THE MASHUPS OF THREE NEWS ARTICLE


The challenge for transparent architecture, which was gaining popularity with the rise of the International Style was unwanted heat. By better using the visible parts of daylight while excluding unwanted heat, we can reduce the amount of energy required for lighting. By minimizing the interior lighting and illuminating the surrounding lawn and trees, the cosmic scenes of day and night appear mysteriously together. Incorporating more daylight into our buildings helps us maintain the deep relationship we have with the natural universe. In a building with ample natural light, people see and feel the rhythm of the day, the time of day, the weather patterns and a sense of season. The rhythms of daylight help to draw people further into a contemplative state. The sun emits aperiodic rhythms, the rotation of the Earth, the tilt of the Earth’s axis and ever-changing weather conditions mean that each intervals of the day produces a different level, and even a different color, of natural light. The irregular rhythm of light and shadow appears like a musical composition. The skill of day-lighting lies in working with the principles of design and with daylight analysis, in testing how light serves to perceive the environment. It lies in understanding the visual interplay of light, and how in turn stimulates the body and spirit. Daylight design opens the possibility of the interplay of "Focal glow, ambient luminescence and play of brilliants,that enhanced the character of the building. It leads to the creation of buildings that open the soul to poetic realms rather than offering repetitive rhythms of engineered lighting systems.

  1.  Changing perspective for the viewer.
  2.  To be created in response to a location and be unsuitable somewhere else.
  3. A rebellion from convention.
  4. Architecture is not static it keeps evolving.
  5. A marriage of form and function.

New Electroliquid Aggregation Concept

My new electroliquid aggregation concept is "Simplicity amplifies the threshold" . The new-formed concept helped me strategically locate my light rail stop in a location that is prominent to the potential commuters located along the streets on Anzac Parade.


Derived from the concept of simplicity amplifies the context, I designed an outreaching shelter to welcome the potential commuters in close proximity of the site to the light rail stop. The use of bright colors further enhances my design concept by instilling a sense of delight that draws the nearby commuters into the light rail stop.


My second concept "Undefined Threshold" inspired me to transform the amalgamation of my discrete forms into a space that contains light rail seating, directory, as well as a monumental landmark for the light rail stop. I also placed an extra emphasis on how the potential commuters will use the space. These examples are the boundaries lines and signage along the edges of the platform used to guide the commuters to the directory board as well as a safety guideline to prevent accident.


By choosing technology as my theme, it inspire me to use simple discrete forms at a macro scale to form my digital panels to display the arrival time of the light rail to improve their experience.

I have chosen the Simplicity amplifies the context model because I really think there are many things that could happen in such a simple amalgamation made. Just like what Richard Leplastrier said less is always more. Simplified space allow room for things to happen and for nature to enter which is what I wish to strive and incorporate for the sustainable, technology and the work of the students and staff of UNSW.

Simplicity amplifies the context + Architecture is not static, it keeps evolving

Hi Chris, I have drawn the 3 parallel projections exploring the interconnection between pairs of my drawings from week one. Personally, I like Simplicity amplifies the context + Architecture is not static, it keeps evolving which is the third one. The curved structure on the top will be the shelter for my light rail stop. The structure at the bottom will be my seating for the light rail stop for the tram coming from both sides and the voided area in the middle will be an escalator going down to the lower campus stop. As for the theme between technology, sustainability, and the multicultural students and staff who study or work at UNSW i have chosen the sustainability because I was inspired by Richard Leplastrier. Please tell me if I am heading to the right track. I will develop my design if everything is okay. Thank you. (:

Things that I should have done last week. (:







Hi Chris I changed my design to suit the design brief.  My new concept is "Simplicity ampifies the threshold" which means allowing the people to use the space that I have created easily. The floor plan will have light guiding to the directory board in the middle of the tram stop for both sides. I also added some cantilevered looking chairs and lighting to suit my overall design. I will map the texture over the chair and directory board. Could you give me some advice on what to add or is it sufficient to meet the marking scheme? Thank you. (:

This is the model using Artisan tool.

This is the model using another tool. Could you tell me if you prefer the one using artisan or this one? (:

I will map my texture over this chair

This is the directory board with some minimal detail.
