Draft of Model

Drawn plan of my bridge, depicting green spaces, placement of buildings and smaller bridging elements.

Royal blue blocks are multi-usage spaces which can be used as a studio, workshop or a meeting room. 

Pink is the central part of the bridge, it acts as an outdoor promenade connecting spaces together. It rests between NIDA, the Squarehouse and the Law building. Smaller bridging elements will connect the Blockhouse. 

I think I would like the move the gallery space (the purple block) off of the Squarehouse and make it suspended in air by a bridging element. 

The roof of the Roundhouse has been turned into a small park for patrons to use, as well as to give the hanging studio spaces a nice outlook. The studio spaces will open onto the park.

Week Four Idea Development

Week Four Idea Development
Ideas and notes developed from feedback from Chris in week four's tutorial. 

Notes written on image:

"Exp 3.

- Buildings' rooms jutting out like in final sketch [from last week's task]

- Straddling road (anchor points)

- Lots of planes (maybe go with the oriental look)

- Part connecting two bridge parts

- Some f**king mesh that sh*t sits in

- Bridge bigger mate" 

Other notes about sketch (above):

- Dark colour scheme
- Lots of split levels
- Like a ship thats moving through the buildings
- Parallel to Uniwalk, like a uniwalk of the sky
- Buildings and smaller bridges coming off main promenade

Example of what the promenade shape will be

Farnsworth House Explored in Plan and Plan as Section

Farnsworth House Explored in Plan and Plan as Section
The following images were developed from the plan of the Farnsworth House, designed originally by Mies van der Rohe in 1945. They were draw the the ideas of floating, grid, exposed material and asymmetry in mind, as those concepts were what I deemed to be most important about the Farnsworth House plan. 

The original Farnsworth House Plan

//Plan//

The inner shape was brought outwards and part of the grid was removed, the 'I' beams were enlarged.

The 'I' beams were moved to one side, the scale of the grid was changed and the inner shape was again made the focus.

The original for and grid was maintained, another room was added and the staircase was changed. The inner shape was removed.

The original form was maintained, the larger part being transformed into a green space, the 'I' beams now carry over the top of the form. A room was added.

Part of the grid was removed, the original form has been separated and aligned, the inner shape has been made the focus.

//Section//

The inner form was used, the grid was used and the outer form has been turned into rooms that float in the grid.

The inner form was used and the outer form was placed inside it. The grid marks out seating forms. A rooftop garden was added.

All three forms were used, the grid has become a balustrade.

Two original forms on top of one another, made to be more square, the 'I' beam is used as support.

The original form supported by 'I' beams. The inner shape has a grid-mesh overlay.

Some plans and sections have been made in SketchUp, I am not particularly happy with any of them and will need to develop them more. When trying to transfer them into Lumion the software would not accept .skp or .dae files. Need to talk to Chris about this and see if he knows how to fix it.
