W1: Themes and 6 Axonometric

Themes

Contextual: how architecture is inspired by the space and time around it. eg. Hadid’s Vitra Fire Station which resembles nearby farmland and vineyards.

Futuristic: how computers have altered the nature architecture and allowed the design of improbable forms like the 'Bird Nest' of HDM or the renowned curves of Hadid

Collaboration: idea of working together on an architectural project whether this be with artists on a building or interactions with the public

Conceptual: how the concept is more important than the form, a reflection of modernity

Illusion: an investigation into optical illusion and how appearance may not reflect reality. Shown by HDM in their use of glass at Tate Modern in front of a brick wall to make the transparent look solid.

Progress Model (For Tutor Comment)

 Progress Shots:
Main studio space developed. Purposely neutral decor to allow display of clients work. Reflects an arty industrial vibe, urban renewal.

Materials- Polished concrete (walls, pillars), wood (floor). Materials to transition to other levels to link project

-Where should stairs be located? Need to be main feature not hidden
-Are the pillars necessary?

 

Progress Stairs (For Tutor Comment)

 Progress Shots:

-For Revival Cycle
-Components made out of motorcycle parts (pictures below).
-Central lift structure, to bring works into showroom
-Undecided on texture for stairs (Green is from the metallic paint on the motorbike but think it too bright for the client).










Alternative angle




















Alternative texture: wooden theme. Could follow better from showroom to studio

 Detail 1: End of railings are fitted with motorbike handlebars and light. Suspension springs make up the support.

 Detail 2: Motorcycle trends made up edge of each individual stair. Think idea better suits the client.

















Detail 3: Each landing is fitted with a wheel embedded in the flooring.
