EXP 3 - The Bridge - Final Submission

Images

By creating a connection between the Squarehouse and 
Tyree, the bridge emphasizes the notion that 
architecture's use of sustainable design 
blends forms sympathetically within its environment. 
The snake like capsule encased by ribs creates a
unique silhouette against the sunset. 

Open Study Area, including computer lab spaces.
Structure as seen from between the Blockhouse and 
Roundhouse, gracefully weaving between the existing 
structures to immerse itself withing the pre 
distinguished forms.

Intimate auditorium facilitating interactive learning. 
Vast glass ceilings allows light to filter seemlessly 
into the space.

Moving Elements

Element 1 - Rib-like forms encase an interior 
capsule creating a dynamic structure that invokes 
the interaction between the environment and human
as they bank around an open study area.

Element 2 - Circular pylons rotate in alternating 
directions at ground level to create a sense of weaving 
to play within its environment.

Experiment 2 - Final Submission

Lumion Model

High Angled Perspective -

The ramp becomes a moving frame that leads the eye toward its main
display, the light rail stop, through a smooth and steady curve. All angles
of the structure are visible and higlighted as one moves along its gentle slopes.
It encompassing nature reflects the inclusiveness and diversity of its
multicultural staff and students. 

Low angle Perspective -

The undulation of the cantilever merged unevenly within itself creates
a sense of dynamism through its tactile layering, the outcome being a
stationary object that continually interacts with its surroundings.

Southern Perspective -

The light rail stop is inherently minimal in order to accommodate
its function, whilst being sympathetic to its surroundings, seeking
sustainability through both its materials and form.
