Faculty of Architecture Design Concept
Architecture Studio 1 Project 3: The Bridge
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Your challenge is to design a school that forms a bridge spanning buildings in an urban environment. The urban environment is the lower part of the "UNSW Sydney" Kensington campus; the central building is the Squarehouse.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Taking from the article, I wanted to create a concept of an underground architecture. The idea initially came from merging from Architecture and Computational design faculty have in common and that is creativity. Creativity comes from inspiration of the influenced of the surroundings and the connection between your mind and nature. We look up at the sky when we think, but we never really looked down. I believe creativity should derive from all aspect of your surroundings, thus creating an underground based on the concept of Earth, to really explore what it is like when Earth is opened up.
