PART 01 . Site Analysis
 01
Location: 2A Spenser St,Melbourne, Australia
From the overall map of Melbourne, the site is on the edge of Melbourne's cbd, next to the yarra river. The map shows the classification of the surrounding roads and the distribution of green spaces. After the site is enlarged, the relationship between the surrounding buildings and roads and the site can be seen more clearly.
Batman Park is an urban park, located on the northern bank of the Yarra River in central Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is a small open grassed space with paths and planted Eucalyptus trees bordered by Spencer Street at the west, Flinders Street Viaduct at the north and King Street to the east.
 02
Surrounding Building Height Understanding of the distribution of buildings around the site by classifying the surrounding buildings of different heights. The height of the building has a great influence on the natural conditions such as the light and wind speed of the site. Not only that, it directly affects the limit of the building height in the site.
 03
Lighting analysis Mainly analyze the influence of light on the site at different time periods in summer and winter. Sunlight is very important for children's daily activities. The design needs to avoid direct sunlight at noon in summer, and children need enough light in winter.
 04
Noise analysis The noise received by the venue during the day and night was analyzed separately. For the residential part, the impact of noise needs to be considered
 05
Access analysis Analysis of the pedestrians around the site and the roadway, these two factors directly affect how people enter the site. Vital to the setting of the entrance

Precedent 01: School Of Dancing Arches
BHADRAN, INDIA Architects: Samira Rathod Design Associates Area: 18000 ft² Year: 2019 Conceptualized from a child's early scribbles that turned into a series of dancing arches, the school is an experiment with materials and forms. A scribble is indicative of not being instructed, but having the freedom to express yourself in the form of wavy, crooked lines, the only form a child knows. The dancing arches are a reminder of this freedom.

Precedent 02: Houses for Eldery People in Alcácer do Sal
RETIREMENT, HOUSING ALCÁCER DO SAL, PORTUGAL Architects: Aires Mateus Year: 2010 The building, designed path, is a wall that naturally rises from the topography: it limits and defines the open space, organizing the entire plot.

Precedent 05: TransBorda Intervention
CENTRO, BRAZIL Arquitetos: Estúdio Chão Year: 2018 This collective construction of fear invades all places and assumes the most diverse forms, from the most ethereal to the most solid, from the most crystalline to the most opaque. To the child, imagination allows one to see in the wall something beyond its condition of division.

Precedent 06: Flexible Landscape
SHANGHAI, CHINA Architects: GOA Architects Area: 120 m² Year: 2015 The installation itself was a work of art, as well as a space for other activities.It inspires the vitality and creativity of the city, and displayed the open spirit of the city by an architectural way.

Proposal 01ďźš The first proposal is that I have a basic understanding of the site. My intention is to use the boundaries of the entire site and add a modular section to become a residence for homeless children. However, since the overall area and span are not considered, the entire scale is inappropriate.

Proposal 02 In the second proposal, the scale of the site was adjusted and the plan was arranged. Did not consider the connection with the site, did not consider the reasonable layout.

 35
Proposal 03 Two inner courtyards are added to form a height difference in view. Refine the layout of the plane to make it more reasonable. The problem of living space requires thinking, and how to express the relationship between internal and external spaces .

 41
Mid Proposal: The problems existing in the previous plan are modified, and the section expresses the relationship between the two courtyards. The layout of the two courtyards needs a more reasonable explanation, and the topography needs to be changed to achieve spatial rationality. On this basis, the section drawing needs to be improved.

Refinement 01: This time I added a reasonable road distribution to the general plan, and continued to modify the layout of the plan to integrate the building and the landscape. The problem is that the setting of the landscape is still not clear enough, and the distribution of bedrooms is not reasonable. The bedroom needs to be divided into four parts for better management.

 51
Refinement 02: Added the idea of structure and material, as well as the experience of different parts of children. The layout of the facade needs to consider the density and rhythm of different areas.

Refinement 03: The topography of the landscape has been changed to make the overall landscape more oriented and integrated. The bedroom area is divided into four for easy management. The façade changes the overall distribution of columns and enriches the whole. A wooden roof was added. The ramp needs to be improved, using the ramp as a carrier to connect the ground up and down.

Refinement 04: Refined the plane and section, and added a perspective line drawing to illustrate the child's experience in this building. It is necessary to add characters on the way and change it to an axonometric style.

Refinement 05: The axonometric line drawing, with children and staff added, shows the activities that can happen in a corner of the building.Green plants need to be more iconic and diverse
