CONCEPTUAL CREATION

from Christopher Sinden - Architecture Portfolio.

ARCHITECTURE CAMPUS

o A building model that circulates objective context purpose through circulation of diverting wall facades and captivating resting spaces o Creating occupation through volumetric double volumes for the entrance as the engine of the building model

Taking multiple views into account for context relationship purpose

Creating separation between street and building envelope by placing a divider that cantilevers in front of the building itself

Phase 1 – Bulk of Site

Relation towards context building to be considered

Circulation a prime driver for concept.

Engagement with Cultural changes to be implimented

Phase 2 – Allowing for pedestrian flow from CPT Hiigh

The main focus is to create engagement with all views and nodes of the site, by creating pathways and primary and secondary entrances to the site and with the University.

Phase 3 – More organic bulk

Changing the bulk to more organic, opposes the surrounding formal square context to a more informal and natural circulation and engagement with the site. Allowing angular shapes mimicking the slope of Avenue Street, the site allows multiple axis’

Double Volumetric Entrance

Double at the entrance creates a circulating space that enables massing towards the context Also a bridge between the formal food court on the 2nd storey creates semi-private routes for students

Chosen Levels of materials

Timber façade

As ground floor is going to be either glass curtain walls or perforated concrete/masonry construction, the intent for the ground floor façade will be to be inclusive towards the public for interaction with the informal food courts and semi-formal art gallery

Phase 4 – Pathway cut through building

The angular walls invite the pedestrians towards the building by walking underneath the 2nd storey. This create a massive door or entrance towards the site as more and more smaller pathways lead towards the central courtyard of the building.
