IMAGE CAPTURES

5 REALTIME IMAGES SHOWING DEVELOPED ARCHITECTURE 






My main Inspiration for my design was from Peter Zumthor's Thermal Vals. I Tried to make use of similar geometric shapes that create personalized spaces. Above its my Architecture School and below are an image and plan of Zumthor's Thermal Vals. 












The Main Corridor for the school, I wanted a continuous hallway that traveled from one end to the other. At the far end is the students elevator, note the doorways on the right side that lead to the classrooms.




The Folly in all its glory, again I tried to use simple geometric shapes although for the folly I wanted a space that feels open although is actually protected by the surrounding building. The point of the various geometric shapes is to create different feelings of space when viewed at different angles, especially from the elevators, (which is why they are open), and to personalize the space due to different heights, angles etc.  The folly is located at the bottom of the overall school, but on the roof of the workshops beneath.




This is the view from the Dean's office through his elevator. The Idea of the open elevators is to allow controlled views of the surrounding landscape, that are allowed and denied by the architecture.



The view from the Dean's elevator, through the school, to the students elevator. This is one of the controlled views that goes right through the building.

The central characteristic of this spatial fragment is that it is a space understood as being empty, abstract and purely geometric.«At the center of architecture, there seems to be an empty space. You can’t plan emptiness, but you can draw its boundaries, and so empty comes to life». It is for this reason that our attention is almost involuntarily drawn away from the empty space itself and rather towards the objects within it. He undertakes, as it were, foundational scientific research by studying frequencies, volumes, movements and combinations of sounds and their impact on the body, sketching possible spatial figures, such as cubes, corridors, fields, pipes, and exploring the impact of edges of an imaginary space, while the more densely arranged threads towards the middle seem to create surfaces.in its very essence an event of time. Space unfolds in time; it is developed, repeated and transformed in time.structure evolves on the plan of the three squares that constantly changes its appearance on approaching, walking around or through it, creating ever new impressions, Multiplicity of objects is shown only when who is living with them can distinguish their single parts and, at the same time, can see the work in its wholeness. It is necessary to rethink and redefine the term “space”. The boundaries of these spaces cannot be experienced at once, and they are not “dynamic, fluid” spaces in the conventional interpretation. Between multiplicity and silence there’s a tense and vibrational relationship, and the concrete idea is in their equilibrium. architectural elements allow a space to emerge

OVERALL THEORY: Simple individual elements converge under multiplicity when experienced and create personal spaces that are individual to those specific variables.



EXP 3 alternate images & draft images.




 View of the student elevator in its initial position.


View of the folly, with both elevators in frame. The folly itself is located on top of the workshops



 The environment is Bobbin Head National Park which is a national park Turramurra, Australia which is close to my house.
