DRAFT model in Lumion

Below are images of my Draft sketchup in Lumion. Here i further developed the alternative environment for the people of UNSW. From my axonometrics the following was created.

CONCEPTS AND DESCRIPTIONS

Concept 1 – Santiago Calatrava:

Dramatic use of curves that evoke the sense of movement through the building form.

Sustainability with addressing the theme of multicultural students and staff who study or work at UNSW.

The combination of the five rectangular prisms that have been sequenced together helped to create a light rail stop, that will further incorporate dramatic use of curves which helps to evoke a sense of movement to this environment. The idea behind my chosen concept is that architecture should not always become a simple form, but rather engage with the individual and evoke a sense of emotional making you feel as though you are in a new place. My chosen theme sustainability along with guidance of the individuals at UNSW has been incorporated throughout the model in various concepts. The rectangular shapes were changed and reconstructed into curves and other organic shapes that help to evoke the sense of movement in the light rail stop. This also help to create my second concept of an alternative world. 

Concept 2 – Friedensreich Hundertwasser

Uses the environment to create an alternative existence, one that becomes seamless with its environment, with also appreciating the human individual in the design.

Second concept to help situate the light rail stop within its urban context.

Further I wanted to create a new environment one different from the usual look of current urban context. This concept allowed me to expand on the idea of creating an alternative rail stop that benefited the multicultural students and staff who go to UNSW. As this rail stop is situated in a busy environment full of traffic, the sanctuary offers an alternative existence that makes one feel as though they were not in that chaotic environment. This also benefits each individual by bringing people together to meet and relax. A large bridge becomes the main walkway for people to cross over to each side. The top balcony offers a relaxed seating area and cafe, whilst the bottom is for people waiting for the tram. I designed a set of square seating areas that elevates on a multiple levels, this becomes a meeting and waiting place for the trams. This area helps to situate the light rail stop within its urban context through, with the use of natural light, open areas, unusual curved sculptures and greenery which creates the second concept of an alternative environment and paradise for the individual.  

SUSTAINABILITY:

I have chosen to incorporate the theme of sustainability into my light rail stop. A series of Solar panels are included into the ceiling of the glass shade roof that accumulate the suns energy, and allowing it to be reused and recycled elsewhere in the stop, including energy needed to run the trams, lights and cafes. Further, the wind produced from the trams is also taken in to produce electricity. By incorporating the 'green' aspect of sustainability as well, i have added various amounts of greenery, trees, grass and other vegetation to support the growth of nature in this 'alternative environment' made for the multicultural people that attend UNSW. Also I incorporated recycled timber for parts of the furniture and seating spaces.

SOLAR PANELS:
The image on the left: On the above white roofing i have incorporated a few solar panels to show my theme of sustainability. These Solar panels draws on the sun's energy to reuse that energy into running the light rail stop. The energy is further used for the electricity for the lights and trams. This helps to keep the light rail stop within the sustainable concept.

NATURAL LIGHTING:

In the captured image on the left you can see the large glass shade that is situated in the middle of my model. The tinted glass provides protection from the sun but also allows natural light through the transparent material. By having this as glass it allows the area to not only feel more open but also helps to create my second theme of an alternative environment, as this is quite unique. The light rail stop allows for various amounts of light to access through all sides of the building form. This means that there are few lights used in the station, and therefore less electricity used.

GREENERY: 

By planting a large variety of trees and foliage, which also allows for a  renewable and green environment. The greenery helps to set my light rail stop and the second concept which is the alternative place made for the individual people that attend UNSW. The trees help to situate the light rail stop within its urban context.

RECYCLED TIMBER:

All the large areas of seating are created from recycled timber. This is part of my 'sustainable theme', by using recycled materials as part of my light rail stop this is preventing the construction and further the energy that would be used into creating new materials. Also this would save from more trees being chopped down.

This is my chosen amalgamation model. I decided to further build on the concepts from both architects.  

Chosen textures

Chosen Textures:

                                                                                                                                                                    I chose this light to medium texture to my light rail stop as i felt it would not overcrowd the station too much and offer a feature like wall.  This is one of my more simple designed patterns that i have included.  This texture is part of the large curved sculpture that is situated at the end of the light rail stop.  The texture also helps to create my concept of the 'alternative environment'.                             

I added this texture to the interior of the light rail stop as it adds a fast mechanism to it which corresponds with the tram coming into the tunnel offering an illusinal  feeling as you step off the tram and into the station. I also really like this texture due to its alternate look about it, with these triangular shapes that angle downwards which are then disturbed by straight lines with dark dots that run parallel to the tram as it enters the light rail stop. The Dark texture brings a warmer feeling to the rail stop offering a more inclosed feeling to the rather open area. 

My third chosen texture is more straightforward than the last one. This is a medium texture i chose as it consists of these little swirls that have lines running vertically over them. Similar to my concept it offers the people an alternative scenery one far from a typical station. which runs around all balcony railings.

PROJECT 2 - The Architects and Concepts

Chosen Architects

CALATRAVA

1. The use of oblique curves and symmetry to add dynamism

2. The visible skeleton: expressed structure: everything used is visible

3. Evoking the sense of movement through the building form

4. The use of a restrained colour and material palette (a lot of white) to draw focus to the structure

5. Inspired to seek simple forms in the hope of creating an emotional response

6. Architecture as a destination: The icon. A stand out sculpture

7. Marrying of structure and architecture.


HUNDERTWASSER

1. Architecture as a playful, otherworldly place.

2. Appreciates the human individual in his designs: We are not all the same so why should each of our homes be?

3. The careful use of vibrant colours. He uses a lot of colour but delineates it with a strong use of black outlines and planes of white

4. The line between the building and landscape melds: the building as an extension of the landscape rather than as an addition to it

5. Generosity of space: give the individual generous spaces in which to live.

6. "The straight line is godless and immoral"

2. Friedensreich Hundertwasser
