Week 8: Project 02 - Design Progression

MODELLED TOPOGRAPHY OF SITE IN SKETCHUP

So far, my work on Project 2 has been focused on researching various aspects of my architectural fiction in order to make something justifiable. This week I have begun my initial concept design sketches and modeling for the architectural entity. In particular I focused on the:
  • Foot print of the building on the site
  • Contextual relevance
My initial ideas was focused around retaining the existing thoroughfare through the site between Morris Street and Warmington Street. As seen in the images below, the two peaks on either ends of the site fall gradually and meet together as this thoroughfare highlighting it as the central focus of the design.



The curved lines across the forms represent the different levels of the form at about 3m apart.
