EXP 3: The Bridge

WEEK_01: EXP3 INTRO Client Brief "Imagine you are the Dean of a school of Architecture, Computational Design, or Engineering. Your school has 100 students who are drawn from all around the world and are supported by scholarships. Your challenge is to design a school that forms a bridge spanning buildings in an urban environment. The urban environment is the lower part of the "UNSW Sydney" Kensington campus; the central building is the Squarehouse (building E4 on this map). In addition, you will design two moving elements that modify the students view of the school when they see it from locations on the ground plane vs locations above ground level. These different points of view will reinforce or challenge your particular "Theory"". Task for Today Upon visiting the Squarehouse building to do site analysis, we were introduced to Experiment 3 by drawing a series of 6 one point perspectives exploring adjustments to the proportions of a six legged

EXP 2: The Space Between

WEEK_01: THE CONCEPT Task For The Day As a class, we conducted some online research into the two Architects chosen by our tutor (Decimus Burton and Mokena Makaka). The aim of the research was to collage 5 concepts relating to each of the two Architects. Our tutor recorded the concepts on our class blog for future reference. Then we had to draw a series of 6 axonometrics exploring the amalgamation of the 5 rectangular prisms. Each amalgamation had to reflect a concept from our online group research. The rectangular prisms should intersect with each other at right angles. On the lower part of each page, we had a second series of 6 axonometrics that re-draw the first series from the opposite point of view. Independent Study In consultation with my tutor, I took a pair of axonometrics created in class and constructed them in 3 dimensions using SketchUp. Urban Environment Concept: Seeing Architecture as Classical and Picturesque Then exported the
