SUSTAINABLE/CULTURAL DESIGN

This model was looking at Accessibility and connection as a design language.

This model is looking at technology and creativity as a design language.

This model is looking at the sustainable and cultural design language.

Section diagram exploring opportunity for natural light, ventilation and shading for one of my more refined concepts. The sun direction was at 1 45 pm.

Natural cooling and heating from directional wind is also shown.

Conceptual sketches exploring organic and geometric forms.

Looking at using shipping containers.

Looking at addressing the three design languages, 5 criteria as well as addressing the needfs of the site.

A2 brainstorm and sketching activity looking at bubble diagrams and zoning of spaces, as well as exploring organic and geometric form.

This concept developed from reiterations of the ones on the left.

MODELS DERIVED FROM SKETCHES

REFINED CONCEPTS

Site plan view of bubble diagram showing the general layout, size and relationship of the spaces, amenities and activities for the site redesign.

Elevation view bubble diagram of the site showing the vertical relationships between components of the site redesign.

This model was looking at the undulating waves that form this linear concept, inspired by the form and function of the precedent studies.

This concept’s facade was intended to assist in natural water run-off from rain, producing a man-made/natural water fall that would flow in front of the large arches.

North elevation view of the concept. Focusing here on the heights of each profile, the way wind can travel through, the types of views created as well as the vast public space/park.

A curved structure exploring more the spectacle and artistic language of the size. Focusing on utilising negative and positive space as both wind divergeucture.

A close-up view of the curved structure of the third model (pictured on the right). This close-up shows how the communications tower is sheltered under the wave-like roof structure.

This model was fusing together various concept sketches. It was taking a more structured and simplified section profile and warping it to create more specific and unique interior and exterior spaces.

This concept was derived from one of the sketches done during ideation. It focuses strongly on the theme of water, as well as connection, circulation, cultural diversity, accessibility and spectacle.

8

This concept is a more simplified version of the one on the left. It looks at selecting one specific profile and extruding it for the entire length of the structure.

The right two concepts looked more at how the roof can be an undulating surfaced, pushing and pulling from the form beneath it and responding to the landscape.

9

MID-SEMESTER CRIT CHECK-POINT - CONCEPT DESIGN

This is the more refined version of the past few 3D Revit models, rough prototypes and sketches. It focuses more on undulating waves in the roof structure responding to the push and pull of the form beneath, creating smooth flow and movement across the site. This redesign looks at the design languages:

PHYSICAL MODEL AND REVIT MODEL Bird’s eye view of the most recent concept iteration. The docks for the boats are also a design gesture, having an organic and fluid form.

Top view of the conceptual model on the site This is the most recent iteration of my concept. The next steps for this concept will be to look further into detailing the program design on the site, adding the multi-level car-park into the 3D model, focusing on the activities in the public areas and refining the material selection.

View of the conceptual model from Victoria Harbour Promenade

The undulating waves are seen in their full-form in this view.

POST MID-SEMESTER CRIT - REFINEMENT/FREEZE -

This view really shows how the form would look at a more human scale. It’s presence it very strong and it provides the site with the sense of spectacle it requires. The end “Waves” point upwards to ensure the best views and lighting are created for visitors.

12

13

CONCEPT REFINEMENT - CONCEPT FREEZE

CONCEPT REFINEMENT CIRCULATION/CONNECTION Post mid-semester crit, I decided to combine my two strongest concepts; the undulating waves of the mid-semester crit concept combined with the strong sectional profile of one of my earlier concepts.

Exploring the vertical and horizontal connections within this building design. Using hand drawings to explore these connections, through diagram, annotate sketch and documentation views.

Macro Circulation Diagram 14

CONCEPT REFINEMENT CIRCULATION/CONNECTION

CONCEPT REFINEMENT CIRCULATION/CONNECTION

This longitudinal section hand-sketch explores the horizontal and vertical connections of the building design.

There is a high focus on the overpass connection on the third level as this provides a very unique experience for visitors.

This hand-drawing has been done to represent a wireframe style view of the building design so as to provide further clarity of the connections and circulation. This way, the connections between each level and module are clearly seen.

I broke up the building design into 3 separate modules.

Module 1 is the Hug of Inclusion, Module 2 is the Hub of Boat-making and Module 3 is the Hub of Education and Innovation. I explored these modules through exploded isometric graphical representations.
