Sketch up of the site

brief In Dagenham opposite to saint Thomas more catholic church we are looking for you to be able to design a visual video building complex which can allow people to come and explore current films and games also series. Dagenham has a long history of being an industrial also for being a place for where people can live. Due to the fact that Dagenham is near Stratford and Romford which are known for having businesses. For example a large retail business such as Westfield. We discovered that we don’t have a public building that allows people to explore and discover entertainment. We believe that by making a visual video building would help the public immensely as it will allow an economic growth as the building can act as an attraction in the area. This specific area would benefit even more as it has demonstrated a lack of visual attraction. For example in the specific site we are focusing on there is an old garage that could be regenerated into something new

Specification • The theme for this project is organic forms/movement and flow • You are required to design a video studio that can relate to both games and media • Your design should be sociable modern and eye-catching • Your design must be able to accommodate young people in terms of usage • In regards to the location we want you to redesign the fiats and garage opposite to the saint Thomas more catholic church Flats and the video building and also parking spaces • Indoor and outdoor seating • Several entrance points • Washroom facilities • Accessibility to also people with disabilities • The visual studio must have an interesting façade • Your project must include site research • Primary and secondary research • A full colour rendered sketch up mode

location In regards to the location f have discovered that a very diverse set of people live in the area. For example there are many Christians and under this umbrella there are many blacks and whites also Asians such as Filipinos in addition there are also quiet a number of young people who live in Dagenham as 16.4 percent of people who live there are under 16. 8.8 percent of the people who live there are over 65h however most commonly there are many families who live there additionally opposite to the location I am going to be making my video centre there is a church this shows us that the area I am going to create my video studio building is quiet social. In regards to the actual site based of the images displayed the site seems to be on a greenfield site due to the greenery surrounding the flats

Historical context Dagenham is known to be a very industrialised area there are nota lot of buildings that offer entertainment which makes the building that I will be designing relevant o the community especially for the young people who are interested in keeping up with the current trends of social media having modern building that allows people to explore art music and cinema also games will be useful to bring life to the borough. Another key thing to notice is that most of the residentials homes have only a certain look to them being a brick building as I am redesigning my site the added buildings I will design are more contemporary flats that will also attract more people to want to live in the borough

The demographic research of my location

On this slide I will be displaying demographic information about the site relating to the proportion of age ranges and gender also the type of land that is on my site

The x’s represent what already exists on the site that we are removing or redesigning

Another key thing to note is that in my location there are more Christians in regards to religious groups as there is a church near my site

Brown field

Greenfield

The road Infront of my site is connected to the TfL bus system

After having visited the surroundings of the site I discovered that there are also not just residentials flats But a variety of shops

This here is a detailed perspective drawing of the church that is near my site

Movement and flow mood board This is just a possible colour palette inspired by the mood board

I find that by having this mood board it will help me always relate to the theme that is being explored. Specifically what is god about this board is that I have used colours that are related to technology such as bright blue. In relation to the buildings there is a common repetition of the use of curves especially near the window frames

Organic forms mood board

This mood board is inspired by nature and colours relating to natural organism I found that this was inspiring as the natural forms as shown by the picture are very appealing.

Taking into consideration the spiral patterns and the spider webs shown in this page

Zaha Hadid curved buildings research

on this slide I will be showing you my secondary research of the curved building designed by Zaha Hadid as you can see I have a series of drawings relating to her work and patterns that also corresponds to the visual theme of her work

Zaha Hadid is known to be the queen of the curve she is the architect I am taking a fair bit of inspiration from as she can design some outstanding curved structures which link very well to the theme of movement and flow

On this page I took the forms and shapes that I could see form the research i did on the curved building this is so that I can start building ideas to help possible models

on this slide I will be exploring the idea of parametric sculptures, patterns and design what I like about this form of research is that it highly links with the 2 themes that I have selected.

This is a curved building made by Zaha Hadid which really inspired me to think of possible primary pictures of objects I might use for example the curved plan view relates to how laces look when tied and some of the hollow parts of the building are helpful also in terms balancing out the curved aesthetic

On the drawing here I also looked at the interior of this building it has really nice curvy forms which link to my theme

Movement and flow primary research I will be using these following primary pictures to aid how I come up with ideas which will help me in the modelling faze.

I used the twisting effect of the strap to be able to come up with this form.

Visually it looks like it could become a set of connected buildings

This concept was an idea I could have for a side view

These fine curves could act as a great façade for building

I really liked this idea because it really links with the multimedia aspect of my project by using earphones as an idea I came up with inspiration for using wire or possibly thread for a type of frame

The stacking effect could act as good structure for a tower or block

This idea was really unique as it can act as good layout or plan view

Model number 1

Development stage 1

On this slide I will be presenting to you my first model idea along with drawings of its plans and elevations the aim is to use the model as inspiration to be able to develop an idea

These are drawings of what we can initially see as starting point to develop the idea

I can clearly identify the layers of how the curves make a form of a tower

Development stage 2 On this faze of development I will begin using the forms to relate them to architectural pieces to be able to experiment with what the forms can become

This here is a detailed frontward perspective of my 3rd development of this model

This is the 3rd and final stage for this concept model inspired by movement and flow I began refining this model by being bale to ad additional architectural aspects such as windows as shown by the top drawing.

The aspect I could possibly use to benefit my future model is the fine outer curves as the are quiet aesthetically pleasing

Concept model number 2 inspired by the movement and flow theme; on this slide I will begin the process of developing my second model to further build upon my ideas

This is the 1s stage of development which displays different view points of the model presented

We are now beginning to move into the 2nd development stage where I begin experimenting with what the forms could be architecturally

The blue panel represent glass

This is the third and final stage of my development of this model.

After having developed it I found that I really liked the curved shell like form that has gradually been shown in the development process also the combination of the glass would make this potential model exquisite

My concept model in context

This model could work really well as it resembles a chain which can act as different components building

Also furthermore I used the concept of the wavy multimedia patterns to able bale to design the chain like structure of this model

The purpose of this page is for me to be able to use trees and people in order to understand how I will scale all of my primary models as inspired by the theme of movement and flow

These are secondary pictures I found that really relate to the type of inspiration I found by making these models

By looking at secondary ides of curves and patterns it will reinforce the idea development of my theme

Model number 3

This is the 1srt development stage of this model

For this model I created and repeated a curved shapes to connect and form a chain of structures which visually also curves from the plan view perspective

2nd development stage

What is key to note is how the conjoined forms match each other really well like a jigsaw piece

3rd development stage

In this development stage of this model as you can see aesthetically I added more curves especially curves that are engraved into the structure of the drawing to be able to show a pattern furthermore it can represent a type of curves glass that could really be the aspect of the model that welcomes the eyes aesthetically

The plan view really relates back to the curved towel I have shown you previously in my primary research

Model number 4

This is the first stage of development of my second model

I quiet like this model as it has very interesting curves that almost represent a musical note furthermore it strongly links to the multimedia aspect of my project Due to this models unique shapes I can push and develop it to create some outstanding designs

as you can see I have explored all the different types of shapes that can be seen in the primary stagers of this model

For the 3rd stage of the development of this model I pushed the forms and shapes of the model in a slightly different direction being that instead of a musical note I related it to the curves of a harp which can create an interesting flowing and curled shape

On top of the whole ideology of using a musical I instrument to aid the development of this model it has such a unique and eyecatching aesthetic which can match strongly to a multimedia musical centre

we can ideally see and visualise the harp ideology of my model from looking at it from the plan view perspective

Secondary research On this page I am going to begin secondary research on the organic forms theme of my project to ais the progression of my future models and drawings. As you can see for this pavilion I am focusing on the outer structure of it to be able to link into my previous research of parametric design

Sunrise tower research.

Sunrise tower is a tower designed by Zaha Hadid which offers a residential services which is very useful to my project as I am designing a set of flats. What I am keen on is the faced aspect of it and how it functions and works well for this building

These drawings here have allowed me to explore how the enterior of a parametric inspired building would look like

Organic forms research

This is one of the first concepts I have decide to explore with my primary picture am showing you a step by step drawing process of the flower and how it can become a structure

On the following slides I will begin exploring and researching the ideas of organic forms and movement and flow I have decided to do this so that it can aid me in the styles of Buildings I will research and also help in creating concept drawings/models

from looking at this flower I can see that it can lead me to making a nice plan view to organise the site

As my site is situated in a residential area the stems of the flower can form good pathways connecting the site to its surroundings

On this second concept drawing I took the purple flower which has the purple petals and I explored its spiky effect

Some of the pollen like structures can also aid in the plan view layout of the site

As you can see here I have been able to develop the flower to form a nice spiky shell like structure which can be applied as an outer structure of a building or a facade

These are other primary images I used as inspiration for example the thorns of the rose and the stem allowed me to create a spiky outer shell form

On tis slide I am focusing more on the petals structure I tried exploring different forms and shapes the petals and leaves can make

Looking at the petals I can see that the curve forms of the petals can make a great layering effect for a building

With this drawing I tried exploring if the flowers can make a tower like effect

Over here I am doing further exploration of what the stems can become

Taking on the idea of curved forms and structures I can see that the banana can develop into a unique layered structure also it has its own pattern and design

What I can take from the 3rd development of the banana peel is that it can form some nice curvy windows for the exterior of a building

The pineapple has a very firm outer shell with almost hexagonal patterns that can also give me a nice wired frame idea

On this slide I decided to take on the idea oof how flowers have petals as their outer layer and applied it to the skin of different types of fruit to be able to come up with new ideas

I am presenting to you its different plans and elevations from a drawn perspective of the development process

As a form of inspiration I used dead leaves and twigs to form a canopy to be able to create my models structure

Why I decided to use leaves well tis is dur e to the previous slide which showed the banana I wanted to use something similar and a leaf represents somewhat of a skin layer

On this slide I will be showing you my first concept model I made as inspiration of the organic theme as you can see I mainly took inspiration from leaves which really links to the idea of how the outer layer of a building is wide which can work quiet nicely for a buildings exterior

Further images of my model inspired by organic forms

Development of my model stage 2 On this page I will use the research from the autumn leaves along with the conkers to help design and elevate my initial drawings

On this page I decided to further develop the 1st model inspired by the organic theme

I combined the aspect of autumn leaves in combination with conkers to add more detail

Development of my model stage 1

Development drawing of my model stage 2

On this slide I decided to show a more graphic representation for the development of this model as you can see the leaves that I drew here represent the pattern that I am exploring to use in my design I found that it works quiet well in regards to the façade or the window forming of a possible idea for a building

As you can see I developed my model into a tower like figure using the leaf patterns as a type of facade

On this slide we are going to be focusing on the 3rd development stage which builds up all the research I have done

On tis page I will be showing you how I have further pushed and developed my second model I wanted this drawing to also link to all the curved ideas I have presented to you with the movement and flow models however I used the aspect from the curved models to be a tower instead of making it into a chain of separate components

I also really took the leaf aspect and I used it to form a nice outer structure surrounding the building

Materials page

For the first material I am considering using for my model making or sketch u is wire this is because wire can easily fold and bend into any shape of form which can work extremely well with the curved research I have done to work in my design

Also a wired fence matches aesthetically with some of the designs I have made I chose this as it can also bend to form an interesting type of roof structure

Bricks or brick cladding can also work well to reinforce the strength of buildings

Metal bricks are perfect for solidifying the structures of the buildings

A curved metal sheet will be useful to be bale to make the curves that relate to both my themes

Idea one

for this slide I am beginning to use the research I have done to be able to start comi9ng up with a more complex idea of my multimedia art building which is inspired by the them of movement and flow

as you can see for my idea one model I have taken inspiration from all the research and models to be able to form this concept. Taking inspiration form the curved models I have previously made I made them into towers that are unique in size. Furthermore I have also taken into account the research I did on the leaves that have holes to came up with a curved outer concept wall to be able to guide the way the concept model’s towers are facing

Brick is a possible material for the curved fence

Sketchup of idea one multimedia studio

Continuation of idea one

developed drawings of the model

I added cuts and opening in the interior to show how people will enter and use the interior

This idea is in correlation to the modern apartment blocks that I am making on the site this slide is going to show you the interior this model is taken from the research I have done inspired by the organic forms
