EXP 2: Week 1 Perspectives
Article
 |
| Bar Orian Architects, 2016. The High-Tech Bridge Park. Quotes "The engineering and design scheme are based on four steel arches which twist and undulate, creating two 'eyes' in the space between them" The dramatic angles of the supporting foundations and the tapering cross-bracing elements add to the dynamic aesthetic. "The arched formation creates a protected space for pedestrians, an experiential and exclusive journey, in which each step reveals a surprising view of shapes, materials, and sights." 5 words dynamic, aesthetic, airy, angled, curved, surprise. My distinct & significant theory about movement Moving architecture should have an aesthetic dynamic form which allows the layout of the space to be airy through the form of an angled structure, which provides a sense of surprise in the architectural world. |

Experiment 1: The Datum (Finalized)
The concept for the shared work-space
The sketch below represents the original idea of the structure of the building where the top section is for the the_kyza and the bottom is for Mountain & Moon. However, after much feedback, I further developed the design of the building and stairs. The building consists of spiral stairs where each stairs lead to a different level.

The final model shown is the improvised version of the previous section sketch. The underground workshop for the_kyza is a spacious area that leads up to the ground level showroom which can be gone through a single spiral stair which is a Möbius strip which allows you to walk through the whole workshop and end at the starting point. The ground level showroom surrounded by a glass barrier to allow the usage of natural lighting to their advantage. The above ground workshop for Mountain & Moon is a space that allows individuals to walk around and it has a cut off point which promotes an airy space.

The image above shows the interior details for Mountain and Moon's Workshop. The central of the glass lattice can be a space where jewelry can be made. The use of the ramp which is textured in 'crystalline', can allow individuals to walk around and explore the space.

The Stair
Below are the sketches of different view points of 4 stairs. The sketches were designed in order to fit the work-space. Stair 1 and 2 were designed for the upper work-space, Stair 3 and 4 was designed for the lower work-space.
Client : Khyzyl Saleem (the_kyza)
Location: Upper Workspace
Stair Chosen: Stair 1

Reflecting on the designs that Khyzyl Saleem did, one of the words that I chose associated with the design is "luxury" which inspired the stair. The juxtaposition of the overhang stair between the soft arc and the sharp triangles at an angular point provide a sense of luxury. Sharp triangles were use to connect my stairs to the overhang line as it relates to the overall design approach of the building which will then produce a cohesive design. Since the upper work-space contains cars which need to be transported between the showroom and the studio, a ramp is built for ease of access. It is designed alongside the stairs to present a good sense of positive and negative space. This is then enhanced by the choice of materials used - concrete, glass and metal plates (for the ramp). I decided to use a glass top for the stair as it has a futuristic feel as individuals while walking are able to look through it.
