ARCH1101 Exp 3 Week 5 Independent Study


Location within the campus

I have decided to situate the building between the Squarehouse and NIDA. The finished building is to act as both a School of Architecture and as a bridge that serves to physically connect the Squarehouse with NIDA.






Changes/Updates


Once again, I've continued to experiment with moving around the different shapes 








This is the first proposed plan for the School of Architecture.
I am considering including two gallery locations: the first, within the confines of the main foyer. This gallery space will exhibit student works from the School of Architecture. The second location will be within the outdoor walkway that directly connects to NIDA. Due to its close proximity to NIDA, this particular gallery space is intended for exhibitions of art and design projects that relate both to the fields of the built environment and the dramatic arts e.g. Set Design projects, etc.

The Library and the offices is intended to resemble 'floating' platforms that seemingly and effortlessly cling on to the sides of the main structure. The main material that will be used will be glass, as this will help in achieving the overall illusion of weightlessness and the 'floating' effect.
