PRECEDENTS FOR FORMAL ARRANGEMENT
The form in which the building takes follows the required function of users. following on from the previous study of reuse formal analysis, case studies can be used to assist in the design process of these spaces. Features such as walls, underground, new interior and parasite will all be explored critically in order to assess its practicality on Watson street.
Al-Bahr Adaptive Facade AHR Controlling levels of light and privacy throughout the building will be a key application. principles from this solar adaptive facade can be duplicated to suit our needs.
WALL
Joanneum Museum Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos The Joanneum Museum presents an interesting dynamic with the streetscape. By opening the underground up to the street, it encourages interaction with the external environment from two faces.
UNDERGROUND
Stadtpfarrkirche St. Marien Klaus Block Architects The redevelopment of the church is sensitive to the existing skin which sits lightly with it’s materiality, while providing a new interior library to encourage usage of the building. Bombay Sapphire Distillery Heatherwick Studio
PARASITE CONCLUSION
The use of a parasite to ‘spill’ out from a facade can influence our project similar to Bombay Sapphire’s extension, by using a fluid architectural language to do so.
