18 ONE POINT PERSPECTIVES

3 ARTICLE MASHUP

The attempt to make architecture and the arts inherently separate is one of Architecture’s most misguided prescribed prescriptions. Architecture, even at its most aestheticized, is not hermetically sealed off from the outside world and needs to evolve to reflect design’s enhanced role as a catalyst for innovation and creativity. Programmed space is pushed to cross-disciplinary routes, placing significant emphasis on integrating studio learning with the arts, the built environment, and the interface between them. The cross-disciplinary routes dissolution dissolve into learning spaces that is are collaborative and soft(ly) provide students that allow them to veer off traditional pathways of learning and will not learn about design in isolation. These “collaborative core(s)” have access to nature, including green urban spaces where students design and innovation innovate in public, building interconnections between design and (university) society.

FINAL IMAGES 




This image highlights the use of tensile structures in the columns. A glassy, translucent covering over the top of the columns simultaneously removes the need for complicated louvres but still allows the structural network to cast interweaving shadows over commuters which will shift throughout the day.




The tram stop is placed at the direct end of the UNSW walkway and acts as a natural continuation of the commuters movement. The columns sit on a UNSW student's horizon, acting as a natural vector for movement. The architecture therefore prioritises the pedestrians by creating a direct promenade to the station.




The length of the new trams (75 metres) necessitates a large station, To minimise the imposition of the stop, I brought the columns low to the ground and created large areas of green space which are extended down the length of Anzac Parade. This softens the impact of a large urban project and in fact extends the public green space in Kensington.

FINAL CONCEPT AND THEME

Niemeyer focuses heavily on the promenade through many of his works . Niemeyer controls the experience of entering his spaces very significantly, often diverting visitors through a less efficient path to entry in order to achieve specific spacial sensations on entry, often emerging from below in order to increase the sense of scale in his works

Fornes uses his parametric structures to create patterns which are then distorted and cast onto visitors, Fornes work is often placed outside, which then allows the patterns to continue to change through the day as the sun shifts. This outdoor placement means that Fornes often cannot control the promenade and instead he allows entrance from multiple facets.

Through my work I aim to explore using both of these main ideas and create a work with a controlled promenade whilst still embracing the beauty that is created through the shifts of light and shadow.

I aim to embrace technology through a complex visible structural system. This system will allow me to control both the promenade by way of using it as a vector of movement as well as casting beautiful shadows through the day.
