Description Of Design Ideas

My design ideas evolving three themes : the integration and interaction between different buildings, the continuity of the site, landscape and space and the diverse use of columns.

Firstly, the interaction and layered design of the roof of each building creating a sense of continuity of different levels and diverse spaces which also providing the integration of the whole site. Moreover, the design of buildings uses layered position in order to avoid simply overlaying together and all the buildings are integrated in the design of " L " shape from the top view.

The continuity of the site is created by the effective use of each side of whole site, the " L " shape arrangement of the buildings, the public sitting area near TAFE studios and the planting of trees are mostly arranged on the side near the main road. All these three element integrating the buildings, human actions and landscape together which create harmony relationship between each other. Furthermore, the spatial continuity is created by the connected circulation space and the free standing wall used in both workshop, kiosk and the gallery. The use of different size of stairs and the rump connect different zones together. The loop circulation space provide and opportunity for visitors to explore the spatial interest when appreciating the artworks.

Furthermore, the diverse use of columns express the different potential of this linear elements. For instance, the column is connected to the beam structure which is designed to be a spatial transition of different areas.
Moreover, the columns used in both two levels of gallery showing the role of supporting for a building. In addition,the columns used in workshop shows the idea of using linear elements to create a sense of ambiguity between open and privacy. 

Additionally, structural solutions and security problems are carefully considered in this design. For example, the beam structure in the parking area and the two exits of the gallery one is for public and one is for emergency.The transparent film paper is used in the process of model making to represent the security glass for stairs and the roof courtyard.
