ADV. DIPLOMA OF BUILDING DESIGN
“Society is one vast conspiracy for carving one into the kind of statue likes, and then placing it in the most convenient niche it has.”

CONCEPT:
There are numerous operations and conditions associated with the idea. The initial operation for this concept is Extract, and the associated condition is linked. It is accomplished by intersecting two or three things stacked on top of one another; the space where the objects meet has been removed to create a void so that each object can be connected by a stair or an elevator.

This concept’s second operation is Carve, and its state is open. The model has been surrounded by voids to create a carved-looking area, which can be used as an open or green space or as a perforation to allow natural light within.


DESIGN OUTCOME:
Modernism in the Mid-Century highlights a prevalent design trend from the 1930s to the 1960s. Several architectural styles were influenced by the mid-century modern movement, which was characterised by a sleek, almost industrial aesthetic and an emphasis on efficiency. The inspiration for this style came from Anthony Di Mari’s book “Conditional Architecture.”


Using experiments and relating them to a staircase, the book demonstrates numerous instances of modern architectural concepts; in this case, an elevator shaft was substituted for the staircase. Many voids have been used to display penetrations; these gaps should be considered green spaces.

SITE ANALYSIS:
The subject property is situated near the intersection of Lygon Street and Victoria Street, both of which are prominent thoroughfares; as a result, there is a significant amount of noise. Several parking spaces are occupied during the most of the day, necessitating the need for a car park for the occupants.
As the present structure is within the heritage category, the council prohibits its demolition. The rear parking area will serve as the intended location for our proposed structure. The intended location is not obscured by nearby structures.
