ARCH1101 EXP3 FINAL SUBMISSION

MY THEORY:

There is an ambiguity between spaces.

For a school spaces have overlapping functions. For instance, the studios can be the workshops or meeting rooms after class. I was inspired by Toyo Ito's Sendai Mediatheque. According to Toyo Ito, giving places rather than rooms is more meaning and interesting. It is people's choice whichever spaces to use. The flexibility of rooms can make full use of limited space. Thus I wanna create a building that have more open spaces for people to explore.

However places like office and lab may not serve a multiplicity of functions, thus these places will be fixed. Places like studio and workshops can be using the same space, with flexible panels serving as walls. There will be more space for self study than Red Center. I wanna use walls with different height to divide a large space. Students can set desks and chairs as they wish to in between the walls.

THE BUILDING:

Early draft:

The building will be linked to National Institution of Dramatic Art. Given that the two buildings are both design school, the bridge will provide a easier way for students to get inspiration or further develop their skills.
