EXP 3 Submission- Interior Spaces and Applied Textures

This 'gradual' texture was applied to most the exterior and can be seen as a skin bringing 'dynamism to static structure, imbuing it with a sense of time.'

This 'rotational' texture was applied to the rotating bridge connecting the school to the Roundhouse. The shape of the bridge matches the roundness of the Roundhouse and exists as a smoother transition between the two buildings.

This 'gradual' texture was applied to the third floor and the bridge connecting the school to the Squarehouse. In comparison to the Roundhouse bridge, this bridge is more rectangular in shape and thus the texture is more linear. A mixture of both linear and curvy elements creates the same balance seen in the chosen plan of Zaha Hadid's Riverside Museum.

'Sporadic' textures represent ground floor movement.

'Graceful' texture represents second floor movement.

View of school from across the street. The 'skin' of the building creates a constant movement in this dormant structure and the bridges and assortment of windows give an idea of the several different elevations of movement through the building.

Daylight plays a major role in accentuating this buildings relationship with its surroundings. Throughout the day the sun casts unique shadows onto the road, main walkway, Roundhouse and Squarehouse.

The area between the main walkway and the Roundhouse and Squarehouse now becomes imbued with a lively atmosphere. The statement "Most spaces have lighting requirements tied to the functions we perform in them", holds true as throughout the building there are spaces such as the library, studio rooms, computer labs where lighting is a must, whereas the space underneath the building provides a shelter from the sun serving as a place to relax.

On the third floor, the library becomes a sort of acropolis. Due to it being the highest space in the building, sunlight pours in from the windows providing a generous amount of lighting. Also, it is given a sense of time seen above where the shadows create different patterns depending on where the sun is.

The gallery on the third floor is open to everyone and allows visitors to circulate through the building rather than entering a single room and leaving after one view.

The proportions in the model above were all wrong which made the interior difficult to shape. That was why I decided to start a fresh model with the new layout of plans.

This model was made from the new plan layout and bridges the Squarehouse and the Roundhouse. 

EXP 3 Submission- Moving Elements

First Moving Element: Windows

The windows can "open" and "close" so that light can either enter or not disturb the inside of the building. When open, the windows welcome natural light to illuminate the interior as well as creating unique effects of shadows throughout the rooms. Also, from afar the building appears to "blink" in the open to closed to open transition.

Second Moving Element: Bridge

 The bridge connecting this new school to the Roundhouse contains slits in the sides to let light in. The outer wall gradually rotates throughout the day such that the openings force daylight to come in. Furthermore, the positions of the slits give different points of view for the people taking to bridge to the Roundhouse.
