ASSIGNMENT 4, SM2, 2019

STUDIO WEEK 1

DELTA 4.8.2019

• To begin with, the chosen buildings had to be analysed. It was crucial to understand what the buildings were about, what the architects intentions were and in what context these buildings are situated • Initial sketches will later lead to the diagrams produced in week 2.

• The first attempt of diagramming the School of Architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology investigates the process of how the context starts to inform the footprint of the building.

• Furthermore, it explores how the circulation in and around the building is shaped by the fluidity of the spaces.

• The Tama Library diagrams show the spatial qualities of the spaces.

• The sectional diagram aims at investigating the relationship of interior and exterior as shaped and mediated by the arches

• The building evolves from the existing site context which informs the footprint, form, circulation and materiality.

• The openness of the building through repetitive windows in the facade further emphasise the connectivity of the building to its location.

• The circulation informs the fluid architecture.

• The repetitive yet varying arches of the Tama Library inform the program of spaces, the views captured and the spatial organisation.

• Closed off or screened arches cater for varying densities within the open space which in turn allows for different qualities of space.

• Media TIC in Barcelona investigates how the building interacts and meets the exterior conditions though expressive façades.

• The experimental approach to modern architecture and its climate challenges is addressed through the mechanical shading system facing south and the chemical shading system on the west facade.

• Pushing the service and circulation cores towards the north and south side of the building caters for a flexible interior layout and further accentuates the façades.

• The key feature of the Leutschenbach School by Kerez is the expression of its primary structure on the outside of the building - a true, honest architecture.

• The structure on the ground and fourth floor is located behind the glass facade in order to differentiate public and private realms.

• The courtyards proposed by this competition entry cater for light to penetrate the building into its core and pose as its main design feature.

• UIB Library functions as a cell-like interconnected structure with its sunken in courtyards catering for air circulation, water collection, roof gardens, terraces, and light penetration - much like an organism • Differing light qualities as emitted by the courtyards influence the layout of the furniture and guide the usage of spaces.

• The sketch was translated into a digital model in order to visualize the 3dimensionality of the drawings.

• The digital surfaces were later unrolled and printed to aid in the physical model making • The first iteration explores the porosity of space, how the piercing objects might interact vertically and beginning to distinguish between sizes and functions.

• Building on the previous iteration, the opening of the facade is further investigated.

• The channelling aspect of the cone like forms is increased with opening the floors, a waterfall like space creates an interconnection of the floors.

• To create a stronger connection of interior, exterior and context, the spaces are dropped into the ground.

• Differing heights and depths of the spaces create circulation spaces, visual connectivity and interrelated or dispersed spaces.

• The ground floor is a continuation of the exterior public realm. The glass curtain wall blurs the line of exterior and interior.

• Retail and hospitality opportunities and the ground floor facing Little Bourke Street maintain the characteristics of the street and neighbourhood.

• Services are located to the north of the building A

• The library is accessible from both sides and caters for easily accessed public services such as Wifi, computers and printers, as well as a collection of books.

• The 2nd floor marks the location of private rooms, bookable spaces, studios and more secluded spaces that offer more privacy.

• Furthermore is caters for the connection to the third floor and ultimately the public roof park.

• Cut-outs in the structure throughout the library allow for an increased visible connectivity, better air circulation and indirect light to circulate the open spaces.

• The archives underground are lit partially by the large cut-outs in the floor.

• Worker-spaces, stud-space, maker-spaces and other technology based programs may take place in the subfloor.

• The public roof park allows for leisure and a meeting space.

• The green roof allows for improved storm water run off quality, increases biodiversity, and counteracts the urban heat-island effect.

• The first iteration explores the formal possibilities of the landscape oriented design.

• The rising and falling of the built form offers possibilities for an interaction of landscape, built and un-built form.

• The third model explores the structure of the library and its interaction with the floor plates.

• The intended wooden structure is lightweight, only impacting the location as little as possible, with the possibility of being reused and recycled, after the lifespan of the building is over. Local materials shall be sourced.

• The open structure allows for visible connection throughout the design, moments of interest and surprise and cater for human interaction with one another as well as the built environment.

• The furthering of the design lead to the intention to open up the ground floor and to emphasise the public space • An articulated space through physical objects, ramps and furniture evokes the feeling of a continuation of the public space and landscape.

• The Service cores are articulated and become an integral part of the design
