THEORY

THEORY - Integration with nature - Sustainability - Lighting - Material "Rather, they argue that buildings need to actively demonstrate ways of living in harmony with nature. Our work suggests that bringing the movements of sunlight, wind and rain indoors could make passive energy-saving features in buildings ." " We can enclose weather-generated movement in glass courtyards; use sunlight to project movement from outdoors onto interior surfaces; or project it onto the outside of translucent materials, such as obscured glass. "  Kevin Nute, ‘ The next step in sustainable design: Bringing the weather indoors’,13th July 2017  http://theconversation.com/the-next-step-in-sustainable-design-bringing-the-weather-indoors-80126

THE ARCHITECTURE

RENDER PICTURES This bridge itself also acts as a building. It is composites of 5 rectangular prisms with a hollow curvy column in the middle. There is a tree in the hollow column to create a relax area. The wall of the hollow column also uses as a gallery to stick all the great work. The main material is made of glass, so that it can maximise the penetration of light to bring the weather into the building.  Connections with two buildings  This is the computer lab Library Staff Room

FINAL MODEL

Image
FINAL MODEL My design was initially inspired by Mies Van Der Rohe's idea of removing barries between interior and exterior. It consists of four rooms and four elevators. The rooms are used for cafe and waiting rooms. Rather than standing on the street and wait around, people can go upstairs and have a rest. The curvy shape of the rooms is inspire by Studio Gang. Those four rooms are like flower-shape, connecting to each other. This allows people be more flexible and easier to cross over two sides without crossing the street. Since there is no crossing in the middle of the road, it can help to improve the efficiency of traffic.  The material of the rooms' floor I chose a texture that is used in Studio Gang's wood pavilion. I used a lots of glass for the rooms that when people sit on the top, they can see when the train is coming.
