The Idea

Originally, the section I was most drawn to was the unknown floor plan given in the lecture. What caught my attention were the simplicity of the geometrical forms. I feel as though rational geometry suits my tastes more rather than extravagant curves as it is practical.

The Draft Model

My initial draft model was a series of rectangular blocks, with a bridge in front.

However, I later realised that due to the composition of the university campus and due to the fact that my design could only accommodate for 100 students, I had to revise my model.

Revision

In studying closer at the required spaces, I believed many spaces to be linked with each other and thus belonged near or in the same vicinity. I had catagorised all the spaces into 4 main spaces and named them (in no particular order) the Student Blocks (2 Studio Spaces and 2 Workshops), the Teaching Block (Offices for Academic Staff, Offices for General Staff, Research Space for Academic Staff, Meeting Room for Staff), Lecture Hall (Self Explanatory) and Learning Block (Library, Computer Labs, Meeting Room for Students and Gallery.

In essence, all the original rectangular blocks had to be shrunk and placed within the same horizontal plane. Due to this, the rectangular blocks were altered to be different heights to retain the same depth the original plan had showed.
