2. Concept Design

Program of Spaces

The cross programming developed in the Augmentation study and the last brief programs use the Quad area together. The sketch on the left shows the proposal designs associated with the functions of the existing buildings. While the Quad transforms into a performance area, the surrounding buildings are the laboratory, entrance and student center, and design areas for recycling centers according to the waste they produce.

Iteration 1: The use of timber and supporting steel in the modeling study for the root concept that grows and surrounds buildings Iteration 2: Using fungal forms to study growth form. In this study, I learned the advantages of Inflating Technologies and monolithic spray. A deep foundation is not required. Domed form without angle enables to save up to 30% on heating and conditioning of premises. The construction period is short. It is resistant to destructive effects. Iteration 3: Using the timber waffle structure for the construction of the mushroom growth form. Although it has advantages in terms of strength and construction time, it is not a sustainable solution as it will be necessary to cut a lot of trees.

There is a large green area to the east of the college and the river to the west. this concept design sketch shows the movement of these two natural elements towards the college. These forces hitting buildings cause building elements to scatter around. This design represents the freezing of a metaphorical moment.
