Updates

New proposal.....again.....

This is another new proposal which I have done during the week. Still need to develop the model so that I can show it to John this Monday. Praying hard that this won't cause any unnecessary problem since the final presentation is just around the corner.

Anyway, at this time around, I have made full use of the nice view of the Coogee Beach. All of the rooms are facing to the East, giving more space for the users to have such a nice view while doing their activities.

More pictures to come. Stay tune!

p/s: I dont know why the colors changed after i uploaded into this blog. Same situation happened in my previous post );

Precedents

Since my design is always having problems, i decided to go through all my 'Architecture Australia' magazine to look for the examples to stimulate my brain. I really2 need to focus since the final presentation is just about one week from now.

Anyway, how did i choose the precedents? I want my Community Centre to be rectangular thus all of my precedents are chosen mostly because of this. I'll try to understand the precedents and hopefully, can adapt the same quality of thinking into my building. All the best to me!

3rd Project - Development of individual schemes: Building, site, landscape

I met John in Week 10 to discuss about my proposal for the community centre.

Based on the discussion with him, some adjustment on the building need to be done especially at the 1st floor. The positioning of the building is also need to be reconsidered since it block the view from the grand stand. Thus, I came out with another proposal during Week 11 presentation.






The result was not good. I still need to reconsider about my design. A lot of changes need to be done before the meeting in Week 12. Based on the comment during the presentation, I need to think about the building in 3D. The main problem was i was not fully utilize the wonderful view of Coggee Beach by covering it with all the stores. Apart from that, I have to rethink about the architecture of the building. Another proposal is still in the making before the meeting in Week 12. Any help?

Project 3 : Art Gallery - The finale

My Art Gallery

The entrance - when u look straight, it looks like a pathway; a representation of the 'pathway by the King St.'

Front Facade - A unique and different facade to attract people attention.

Overall view - front angle

Overall view - back angle

Overall view - Bird's eyes

Lighting 1 - This is where I'm gonna place my photographs. Both side of the walls ( glass and concrete). The same photographs are used just to give a different way of viewing it ( concrete wall: plain background, glass: people walking around as the background). The paintings gonna be placed at the other walls. After discussion with Ainsley, artificial lights are used in order to avoid damage on the paintings.

Lighting 2 - Inner courtyard for having any functions such as cocktail party or art exhibition. There is a small garden for making that place look lively rather than plain.

Lighting 3 - Skylight is used at the grand staircases.

Lighting 4 - A small slot to let the natural light come in. Top cubicle : small-toilet, big-bedroom. Bottom: Store (darker room), Workshop (with light)

Lighting 5 - The light shines into the windows. There are two windows, one at the living hall at the top and another one is at the workshop.

The office at the ground floor.

Lighting 6 - Skylight is used for the sculpture ( the sculpture is placed on top of the platform).

Additional facts:
- The roofs (both the gallery and the apartment) are slanted to the middle ( skylight at the grand staircase) to let the water to flow into the gutter which is placed at the meeting point.
- Another gutter is placed at the glass roof at the photographs section. That is why it is slanted to the wall.
