The path to isolation I have chosen to use my local park as my choice of space. A specific area of the park being the pathway, with an isolated bench, surrounded by trees and grass. I have chosen this space within the park as it provides tranquillity when I'm there. The qualities of the space is that the space is isolated from all types of pollution such as noise and environmental. This allows me to think and clear my mind as it is peaceful and away from noise. The trees surround the path and acts as a wall/shelter which creates a sense of security, such as from rain. I'm also able to see the town from the bench view which is located in the centre of the path.

The aim of this project is to exhibit these qualities and architecturally provide this sense of the place for others. The qualities being the pathway, from contrasts between the town and park to how isolation is felt when I am sitting on the bench. I have decided to focus on three main aspects of the place and what they mean to me, these are isolation, contrast, and the texture of the space. For me isolation means to be free from a bad environment; which allows me to be in peace and tranquillity. Its qualities include it being a healthy environment, relaxing, relives stress, gets rid of angry emotions, clears my mind, it is quiet and peaceful due to the space being isolated from people and noise, has a nice view and it is surrounded by trees that act as a wall or shelter for the pathway.

This collage model shows depth and the location in context with the bench.

The collage shows the contrast of the isolated path and the location that one will see when sitting on the bench.

Acrylic is fixed to the top of the structure with designs and shapes that will shadow onto the ground. This feature is to represent the above tree canopies, providing a sense of security and isolation.

G am ing A r c h i v e A building for collection of gaming consoles from past, present and future, that is valuable, is to be designed to actively archive and exhibit for the community. The active archive is to create a sense of place and create a social gathering for the community by bringing everyone under one roof.

My meaning of an” active” archive means to be an energetic space, alive and fluidly exhibit the past to future.

This project is to express gaming through 3d geometry and entertaining aesthetics that will give the visitors an atmosphere as they would be gaming.

The dual aspect of my proposed buildings is to show how futuristic vr gaming helps people that are visually impaired. The proposed buildings themes are fluidity, 3d and entertainment.

Obsession of archiving historical data is to be reinforced within the architecture, as one of its functions. Adaptability is the key factor for transformation, it is how the modern society functions, by adapting and influenced from the past. The purpose of architectural archive buildings is to create, or to express the significance of the time-line and for people to endure the historical experience. A quote by sir Norman “as an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past for a future which is essentially unknown”, this shows modern buildings tells a story of the past through designs and structures.

The proposed buildings facade is fairly simple. The facade consist of hexagonal shaped glass that has a 3d effect. The glass changes colour as natural light shines through it.

The glass is double glazed/ double skinned. Allows natural light and ventilation across the building.

The building is supported by a steel frame structure. Steel frame is very ductile and is able to maintain loads. It is ideal for this building as it would need to support e.g the roof from wind loads and dead loads.

Barrage De Roselend

The dam is located in south eastern France, in the Rhone Alpes region. The dam is located below the cormet de roselend mountain pass. The main purpose of the dam is to be used as a hydraulic power generator. Provides 546w of power to la bathie power station. The dam was filled in 1960 and the power station was operational in 1961.

Location: Beaufort construction began: 1955 height: 150m designed by: coyne et bellier total capacity: 187,000,000 m3

After laser cutting, assembled the dam so that the model was ready for painting.

To create the final model I laser cut MDF after which the components were put together. The dam is painted to be reminiscent of the original, using blue at the base to emulate water.
