Kit of Parts

This kit of parts template was used to create 5 different iterations, where each model experimented with various internal spaces and levels. Each model was created from cardboard, and then developed.

Iteration 1

This model had open and closed space through two levels. However, the second level presented very little closed space, where I thought this could be improved.

The technique of cutting could be improved which would result in a smoother cut.

SIDE

These sketches were done after the model was created. However straighter lines for the parts could be improved, which would create a neater drawing.

SIDE

Iteration 2

This model presented different types of space throughout the two different levels. However, the parts were very cramped where the space couldn't be identified easily, where I thought this could be improved. I would also like to portray more horizontal parts which would create a balance between the vertical parts.

Iteration 3

This model was an improvement of the previous model where the slanted parts were at both levels. I attempted for a section with open space and another with closed space, where this was achieved. However, most of these parts were joined vertically. I would like to portray more horizontal parts which would create a balance.

Iteration 4

This model presented different types of space but was mostly at one level. However, I attempted to join the parts at a slant which would create different heights within the model. I would like to show a higher selection of space at both levels.

Iteration 5

I chose this as my final model as it was the most interesting, as it portrayed both open and closed space at two different levels, horizontally and vertically. In this model, I tried to balance both left and right side of the building, where I could make it stand on a single piece of cardboard. This is the model I used for AutoCad.

Cad Drawings Section

This drawing was created with CAD. Each drawing represented the final model at different views. Hidden lines were also used, to show the parts behind the closer parts.

Construction lines were used to show the how each view was linked to every other view.

Fusion 360 Model

These were the initial model of Iteration 1 that was created with fusion 360.

The pictures above represent the model at different angles. However, to make the model look realistic, rendering and texture could be changed.

Renders of Iteration 1

These are the renders that have been developed to make the model look more realistic. The background, lighting, shadow, reflection and materials were altered which would create a different look. The relationship between hand modelling and digital modelling is that they both provide a visual representation of the model. However, digitally produced renders, provide a quicker and easier alternative to hand models, whilst also create a lifelike view.

Micro Studio

Site Plan with Digimap

NORTH

This is the site I will be using which has raised land and is close to The Salford University. The sloping land will be incorporated into my final model.

Precedent 1: The Teatrino

The Teatrino of Palazzo Grassi is located in Venice and was created by Tadao Ando in 2013. The building consists of a large auditorium with a curving concrete wall.

The element which stands out is how the placing of lighting allows the light to spread over large walls. Triangular windows have also been used which allow a source of daylight where this could be used in the iterations.

Precedent 2: Pavillon 21 Mini Opera Space

This is the Pavillon 21 Mini Opera Space in Marstallplatz in Munich that was created by Wolf Prix of the Austrian architectural firm. It was designed so that it could be dismountable, transportable and re-mountable.

The triangular walls and roof, which join to create spikes, will be used in the iterations as these were the outstanding elements of this building.

Precedent 3: The Teatrino: The Workshop

By Agustn Hernndez

This is the Architecture Workshop in Bosques de las Lomas, Mexico City. It was created by Agustn Hernndez in the grounds of his residence in 15. It was created to look as though it was floating. The middle section is made from reinforced concrete, which can withstand any weather, and will be able to support the structure. Inside, there are continuous windows which incorporate light into the workshop and allows a panoramic view to the outside.

The geometry of this building is what could be used in the design, such as a sectioned living area, where windows are incorporated into the walls of the building.

Precedent 4: Chapel in Valleaceron

This chapel was designed by the Spanish architect, SolMadridejos and was completed in 2001. It is located in Villaselan, Spain. It has been designed so that the small windows, compared to the large area of the building, would allow enough light to reflect on each of the interior wall, needing minimal man-made lighting.

The part that stands out is how the walls combine in different shapes and sizes, which makes it to look as though there is a building within a building. The element from this building that would look good in the iterations is the triangular walls that are joined at different angles but end up creating a unique building.

User Experience

The user within the micro studio will have a normal living space, receive natural light throughout the day through the open sections. The building itself would incorporate into the surrounding through its design, and would include, a seating area, desk, dining table, and a bed. The ceiling height would change throughout the building, which would create an unusual but relaxing environment.

Iteration 1 This iteration was a simple design where if a person was to enter, it would open up into a larger area, where the height would also increase. However, there were flaws in this, where lighting was an issue and it wouldn't be able to incorporate the site into it.

Iteration 2 This was a development of my previous model, where more triangular walls were used. The roof was stretched out to create a larger figure.

The walls did allow some natural light to come in, which was a development of the previous iteration, however, I dindnt change the model to suit the site, as this model could be improved further.

Iteration 3 This was my first attempt at incorporating the site into the structure. The walls allowed natural light to enter whilst also concealing parts of the inside space. The roof was slanted to allow rainfall to flow off. However, an aspect which could be improved was the height of the walls, as it is too low for a person, when scaled into the site.

Iteration 4

This is the final model, which is an improvement from each of the previous iterations. It includes higher walls, which would allow a person to enter easily, and a design change that would use the site as part of its structure and balance to stand, such as in this model, part of the wall would lean onto the sloped land. Different heights within the building are also present, and walls being designed so that natural light can enter from all directions of the building throughout the day.

Cine Studio Scene Stills These stills are taken from a scene in the High-Rise film. It is the dialogue in which Anthony Royal, who is the Architect, sends one of his workers to call Robert Laing who is the new resident. They meet at the changing rooms near the swimming pool, which is a large open area, but has minimal lighting due to a few windows. They both then walk through the two rooms and enter the lift, which is very small. However, it was designed to look larger through the use of mirrors and lighting.

This sectioned building is very open with minimal furniture. The lighting has been used efficiently, where the windows face direct sunlight, a lot of lighting fixtures, and the room being painted a glossy white, all of which increases the visual lighting.

Robert then walks through the large living room towards the garden which has two parts, one which is enclosed by walls and has a stoned floor, and the other area which is very open and flourished with vegetation. He then walks through the garden along the stone path towards Anthony Royalď‚’s office area.

They then both walk around the garden they both shared there history and background where an interesting aspect is detailed when Anthony talks about how the tower still needs improvement in its structure and how it is incorporated into the society of the era of 10s.

Cine Studio Narrative Plan

This section and of the building describes the movement of the three characters within the scene and how they move together within the top two floors of the building.

This CAD drawing is a section with a floorplan which describes the interaction between the characters, and what space they take within the highest and second highest floor.

Cine Studio Model Pictures This model describes the area around each of the characters whilst they are in different places within the building. Each room plays an important part in all of the events leading up to the scene in the previous slide.

Sketchbook

These are the sketches that were done before and after the models were created. Each design had a variation in the space between each part whilst each part served a purpose, either for its design or its use within the model.

As these were the initial sketches of ideas , the final model was different to these drawings, however they were still linked to the models in its overall appearance.

CAD Test Files

These are the initial CAD experimentation file where different line types, CAD blocks, and hatches for each furniture and aspect of the building were first used. The technique and comfortability with using CAD was developed, where the efficiency in of creating and designing on CAD was improved.
