The place where the extension of design school is finalised. The hatched circle between the heritage buildings are the place. The reason is that the space under the bridge was too dark whereas design studios are needed to be bright enough for drafting.
Started planning on conceptual plan.
The circle spaces (thoughts) are overlapping and created common spaces (sympathy). 2D circles (thoughts) have transformed into sphere (3D/action) (in other words, thoughts became action). Pathways going through the spaces and under the spaces (circulation spaces).
The spaces are divided into two parts; private (right) and public (left) and also it is constructed in four levels (left to right - lower to higher). Public space includes foyer, reception, toilet and office whereas private space is basically design studios and toilets. Exhibition space is neutral space where both visitors and students can access. The blue line indicates pathway for visitors which goes under and between the buildings whereas the red line, pathway for students, goes through the spaces. So even the pathways are used in private and public purposes. The spaces between the circles are either 'garden' and connecting spaces.
This is the ideal relaxation space in bottom level of exhibition.
The picture above shows 3D section of exhibition space. The spiral steel represents 4m wide spiral floor going bottom to top of exhibition space. As it was explained in previous picture, the centre of the exhibition space would be empty and have relaxation space in bottom (like doughnut shape).
Good exemple is The Guggenheim Museum by Frank Lloyd Wright (picture below).
This is the ideal space for 'garden' between the circles. It is more like relaxation space than actual garden.
Tried to create the building with sketchup.
Example of how the design school would construct (where two circles are intersect).
Exemplar of materiality.
