Experiment 3: Final SUBMISSION

Mash-up of 3 articles: http://ben-diggles.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/experiment-3-mashup-of-three-articles.html

This mash-up of 3 articles forms the theory of the whole school for architecture. In short, my theory explains that: "Eventually everything becomes obsolete" where in the world of architecture, this includes how one designs and learns.

Folly: This Folly is still on the Valley floor but is within the building as a water feature

 Deans office/Elevator 2: This is wholly an elevator to an elevator showing a new kind of elevator, fitting to the structural design.

 Library and elevator: This elevator follows the traditional elevator design that fits in with the whole library. There is also a research space only accessible for postgraduates through a separate elevator:

This school for architecture shows 2 main structural elements; the library/research building and the design/learning building. These 2 represent the historical and modern structures, which is then connected by the bridge, relating to the connected theory.

Experiment 3: The Mashup of Three Articles + Draft Layout of Structure

Maschup of Three Articles

There is nothing new about buildings changing their function. Because structure tends to outlive function, buildings throughout history have been adapted to all sorts of new uses. Only since then has it become more usual to demolish and build new.

With it, societies throughout the world have produced an extraordinary range of architectural languages, each eloquently proclaiming the cultural characteristics of its users. The spirit of place and community is fully expressed in these buildings, whose subtle variations are adapted to specific social and economic, geographical and climatic environments.

The way in which we visualize buildings – their component parts, how they work and how they might be used – has a strong bearing on the built environment we create and inhabit. Emerging tools for design visualization are changing the practice of design itself. They provide opportunities, as designers no longer need to be temporally and spatially constrained by previous limitations of sequential decision-making processes.

The Concept

Concept 1: Ideal Reflection of Mass

Concept 2: Fragmented lines to Engage Built Forms of the Landscape

Electroliquid Aggregation: Built Forms that Engage and Reflect the Landscape

18 Axonometrics 

Combined Axonometrics

36 Custom Textures

Landscape and Architectural Monument

The Monument is situated on a cliff-side beach

The structure is placed in this particular environment as a reflection on what it's natural form would be

 creating a sense of connection with landscape and built mass

The Structural components of the monument enhance certain aspects of the surrounding landscape 

Textures applied reflect the natural elements of the Land-form

The Dark Texture used underneath represents the reflection of the mass of water

Despite opposing comparisons between the natural land-from and man-made structure,

they form connections through the solidity of their mass
