Arch 1201 - Design Studio 3
Project 1: Villa Muller
The Muller, built to showcase the client's reinforced concrete business was a perfect opportunity for Adolf Loos to express his Raumplan design philosophy where interior spaces are scaled, arranged and connected in logical order and all other design aspects follow as a result, including the exterior facade which is introverted and unassuming, keeping the outside world well separated from inner living.

Architectural Communciations 2010. Workshop 3.
::Workshop 3::Experimental Material Modeling::
Week 4 Submission.
Exploring my experience throughout the workshop and the word 'transformation'.
Accompanying balsa model. similarly depicting the transformation of ideas. Ideally it was supposed to sit on top of the poster but i was unable to photograph the proper arrangement.
Week 3 Submission
Footprints.
Walking through the city streets on a busy Monday afternoon, going nowhere in particular, I can’t help but be overcome by a sense of confinement. The towering structures either side of me form an impenetrable wall, restricting both my sight and my freedom of motion. I am constrained to move in the same routes as the cars and busses. I move in the x direction until I reach an intersection, where I can choose to take y or continue in the x. occasionally the streets throw a more exotic angle at me, it’s refreshing, but I still have to follow the path, the same one as everybody else.
I stumble upon the plaza building on Australia square and it is like a breath of fresh air. The ground floor of the 13 story building is nothing more than the structural supports and an entrance with an elevator lobby. I immediately make my way under the building to admire the elegant array of angled four way pillars that effortlessly hold up the mass above. I am no longer confined by the perimeter of a building, I am well within the footprint of the plaza building yet I am still outside. I cant help but imagine a city full of such buildings, that seamlessly integrate interior and exterior spaces, after all, modern construction easily allows for it. I imagine the amazing range of architectural spaces that could be created by inter connected passageways through the footprint of the building.
I visited the Queen Victoria Building and it offered an experience that was close, but still I felt like I had to commit my self to entering a building. It did not blend the outside into the inside as harmoniously as it could have.
City commuting could have a completely different ambience, as you move between parallel streets, exploring the voids and passageways in adjoining buildings, sheltered from the sun and rain and away from the stink of city traffic. All without losing any office space.

Architectural Comunciations 2010. Workshop 2.
::Workshop 2::3D storyboarding::
This is my 3 dimensional representation of the space between the law building and chemical sciences building.
Materials used were balsa, plastic transparency slides, tape and fishing line.
This is my 3 dimensional representation of the space between the law building and chemical sciences building.
Materials used were balsa, plastic transparency slides, tape and fishing line.
The green and orange pattern, inspired by the sculptures outside the law building, were colour prints on the transparency. The model encompasses defining elements from the site and fuses them together.

PLEASE NOTE - elevators are activated by shooting at them.
I have two engineering final exams on the 22nd and 23rd so i'm submitting my exp3 as is, in it's raw form, as i need to desperately study these next couple of days. the model is more or less finished and all the submission criteria are satisfied however theres still a little bit i would like to clean up. i haven't yet justified any of my work on the blog and i'm not sure if i will have time to. i'm not sure whether this is an important or assessable aspect of the submission, nevertheless i know it's important that i explain and comment on my work and if i dont have time before the submission date i will do so after my last exam on tuesday afternoon, if this appropriate. this was not a rush job i spent a lot of time on my model and on the rest of the submission i've just run out of time for the presentation of my work.

EXP3 final submission screen captures
Bridge - PRADA
Below bridge - Madonna
Prada's space is contained within the bridge which exerts power over the scheme but not in an agressive way, retaining the feminine curveature associated with womens fashion. the curved space under the span is a Prada showroom/store which draws some inspiration from the stepped shelving in the New York store designed by REM Koolhaas. the bridge also contains a decorative concrete section which is in the pattern of a weave, i felt this was a way of bringing concepts of fashion and construction together.
i tried to keep the prada space clean, simple and elegant with a very clear and defined form.
Madonna's space i felt was very representative of her. the curvacious form, the red ambience and the bites taken out of the structure relay a sensual experience. it is powerful but in a different way to that of the bridge. it's only a minor part of the scheme but it draws its power by being shocking and in-your-face, obscene and erotic. i feel these qualities reflect it's clients rise to influence through stimulating visuals, daring music videos and sex appeal.
The meeting space emerges from the Prada space so it's design is more inclined towards the style of Prada. The space can be used to house executive offices and architecturaly i feel is the most engaging in he scheme. it consists of curved spaces with large windows on each end bending in different direction and unified by a central curvacious column, continuing with the curved motif of the scheme which exerts power and femininity
