SPATIAL DESIGN PROPOSALS IN 2D AND 3D

1 Information towers with high visibility effect on site

2 Their presence and the impact on surrounding context (the lean)

APPROACH 3: SEEKING AND PROVIDE INFORMATION

AIM: STRENGTHENING SOURCES OF INFORMATION, IMPROVE DIRECT TRANSMISSION, ELIMINATE DISCREPANCIES

3 A scenario where information space moves into waterbody for more data collection across different land masses

4 Information towers orienting towards different directions for seeking information (observatories - towards sky) SITE SHAPED LIKE A MOON CRATER

THE BRIDGE AS A SYMBOL OF CONNECTION TO EARTH AND THE SPACE

FLOATING LIGHT WEIGHT MASSES

PRECEDENT IN JAPAN

AVATAR X - Space center design

Carbon fibre partitions Panels of transparent and translucent fluoropolymer membrane Spacecraft design Robotics research 1 Application across different levels in a mass

APPROACH 4: INITIATE MORE APPLICATION

2 Using shell architecture to improve sustainability and suitable for testing

3 Application nodes bridging other key spaces

TIME PRESSURE: People can choose their paths based on the avaialbility of time. This mesh can ease pedestrian movement by lifting ground planes up to the bridge height

COMMUNICATION: Neglected spaces form surfaces that bridge information and application spaces

- to understand the 3D boundaries in which each function can housed. Using the boundaries derived from site data, it is easier to compose forms based on their position and their formation of hybrid functions

INFORMATION: Neglected spaces along with vertical reference points gives information towers that are visually more open, fostering exchange of ideas

APPLICATION: Individual nodes alongside each other connetced via communication and information spaces. These nodes can house different range of functions depending on the sizes and boundaries that define the node

NEGLECTED INFORMATION ZONES: THE DESIGN SHOULD ADDRESS PATHS THAT ARE NEGLECTED AND MUST SEEK VERTICALITY TO GAIN INFORMATION. THE SOURCES OF INFORMATION COULD BE FROM THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, SURROUNDING CITY CENTRES AND OUTER SPACE

IMPACT OF GROUND EDGES IN INFORMATION: Reference lines have been extracted from the edges of possible nodes from the ground level of surrounding context. Connecting these lines with two centers on site would give reference lines with directions of potential information signals.

IMPACT OF VERTICAL EDGES IN INFORMATION: Mapping edges of nodes of varying heights gives data in all 3 axes. This data helps to understand parameters required to address the height of the building in order to successfully seek and provide information (case of observatories) INITIATE MORE OBSERVATIONS/ LEARNING/ CONSTANT INFORMATION GATHERING AND MOVEMENT (FITNESS)

NEGLECTED NODAL SPACES: SOME SPACES SEEM TO BE NEGLECTED BOTH BY XY AND YZ NODES AS PEOPLE DONT TEND TO NORMALY USE THESE SPACES. THIS GIVES US A PLANE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF HEIGHTS THAT CAN POTENTIALLY ALLOW FOR MORE FORMATION OF NODES THAT CAN HOUSE VARYING FUNCTIONS

XY NODES: Nodes like sculpture park and boat jetty have a horizontal impact to their neighbouring spaces where their functions fuse with other spaces/ where people associate similar functions to nearby spaces.

YZ NODES: Nodes like hotels/ apartment usually have more impact on surrounding spaces due to their high visibility (verticality).
