FINAL 2.



FINAL.


ELECTROMAGNETIC AGGRESSION:

Chosen Quotes: 


"'Big-ness’ - dismiss scale and proportion as no longer applicable to contemporary architecture" - Rem Koolhas

+


 "Create a sense of warmth and humanity as opposed to sheer function" - Alvar Aalto

=

The main focus of modern Architecture should be on 'big-ness'. Forget scale. Forget proportions. Focus on rational geometry is self restricting. Design space in which induces a warm and humane state of mind. Design should be have form over function or function over form. Rather, an equilibrium of both.

View of light rail stop from Anzac Parade. This shot of the light rail stop demonstrates Koolhas's view on modern architecture. Relative to UNSW campus, the light rail is enormous.

Picture of entrance which leads into the light rail stop from UNSW.


The front of the light rail stop from which passengers usually see when they light rail arrives at UNSW. The curved, organic, frame of the light rail is textured with my dark texture, 'CELLUAR'. The wait for a light rail is not usually profound, however the curved forms create a humane atmosphere as it is a change from the stereotypical use of rational geometry in architecture. This furthers Aalto's concept of how a building should not be designed with just its function but in mind, but also the feelings it induces when seen.


Night view of UNSW Lower Campus light rail sign seen from underneath the light rail stop on Anzac Parade. Pot plants are placed to create a more natural surrounding.


Low angle shot of the light roof and exterior of the light rail.




Afternoon view of the furnishing and interior of the tram stop. Use of the medium texture upon the walls. Use of the light textures upon the roof and the of the tram stop and the seating. The  building's core material was to be a sustainable and nature-friendly one, hence the heavy use of wooden textures amongst the tram stop. The surrounding wooden frames create nice shadows and creates a contrast with the angles of the window.



Interior of light rail stop shown from outside the window on the left of the tram stop. The extrusions of the wooden frames is done to not only create spaces for viewing purposes, but also so that the light rail stop's rectangular shape feel less confining.

Final Model.

36 TEXTURES

36 Textures. Light and Shadow.

There were originally only 6 basic "light' textures. However each of these textures were then developed in consideration with light and shadow. The development and transition of how a texture evolves from a light texture to a dark texture. The 6 textures were based off 6 words which I though was applicable to my concept in conjunction with my theme sustainability. These were (in order of the rows) CELLULAR, FLEXIBLE, GRAINY, OPAQUE, SHATTERED and METAL and they go from light to shadow from left to right.




First Row: CELLUAR
Second Row: FLEXIBLE
Third Row: GRAINY
Fourth Row: OPAQUE
Fifth Row: SHATTERED
Sixth Row: METAL

AXONOMETRICS

1.

"People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming" - Rem Kolas

2.

" Where space was considered permanent it now feels transitory – on its way to becoming." - Rem Koolhas

3.

"Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking. But all in harmony together" - Alvar Aalto

4.

"The stronger the identity, the more it imprisons, the more it resists expansion, interpretation, renewal, contradiction" - Rem Kolas

5.

"Create a sense of warmth and humanity as opposed to sheer function" - Alvar Aalto

Combined Projections. 


6.

Combination of axonometric 1 and 5. A combination of key concepts from both Koolhas and Aalto. Note: This was chosen as part of my final design.

7.
Combination of 2 and 3. Another combination formed through concepts amor Kolas and Aalto.
