Inspiration

Water image. The design is based around water and this image inspired the shape of the plan of the design.

This plan by Zaha Hadid also helped to inspire the basic shape of the design.

The Chosen Layout

Sub-level 

Main Level

Ground Level

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Each of the upper levels are accessed by elevator or stairs that have been carved out of the cliff face on the left side of these plans. The sub-level is accessed by stairs near the cafe. 

SketchUp Model Development Images

1) General shape of bridge shown in sketch up.

    

                  

2) A more developed design. This is the general form of the building used in the final design. After this point only minor changes were made. Mostly to door positions, materials and interior furniture and wall placements. 

3) The design as it was first added to lumion. This shows the first combination of materials as well as the general form of the landscape that the design was placed in.

Images

Selected images of the lumion model that show the concepts behind the design.

1) This is an overall capture of the design. It includes a circular section that surrounds a rock that juts up through the school. That is the first moving part that rotates to give the users of the cafe a view of all aspects of the design and surrounding environment. This section contains seating for the nearby cafe that rotates around the large rock that juts up through the design. The rotation of this element of the design means that as the users sit and enjoy their purchases of the cafe their views slowly change allowing you to take in all aspects of the surrounding environment.

2) The second custom texture that has been used in the design on one of the walls of the folly in the valley floor. This image not only shows the context of the custom texture but also the context and shape of the folly.

3) This image shows the side of the building. The supports can clearly be seen as well as both the natural waterfall and the artificial one that falls from the design. This image also shows the vegetation of the design the extends from the ground on the left onto the bridge enforcing the intertwining of the natural and built environments as per the over all theory.

4) The artificial stream of water collected from the waterfall that winds through the design. The first of the custom textures has been used as the base of the stream to provide a unique base.

5) The first of the moving elements in the elevator that takes students and staff down behind the artificial waterfall to the boat that shuttles to the folly. The waterfall side of the elevator is made of glass so that as it moves down the relative speed of the falling water slows. This gives the user a prolonged experience to the nature of a waterfall and encourages them to consider the natural features of the surrounding environment.

Lumion Environment

These images show the basic structure of the design placed in the chosen Lumion environment. The environment has been inspired by the following landscape:

The valley is the Barron Gorge. The Lumion environment has a limit on the number of trees that can be placed in the environment so the thick forest had to be represented by fewer trees. The lumion environment is shown below.

Interior Images

Study/Social areas in the library 

The water feature inside the design continues the waterfall theme on the interior. 

The Lecture halls have wooden walls. These provide features to the room as well as providing direction that focuses the direction of attention to the front of the room. The wood also helps to maintain the natural feel in this room.

This image shows the cliff face being part of the interior wall of the gallery on the ground level of the design. this helps integrate the nature of the cliff face into the room

Views of the folly, valley and waterfall can all be obtained through some of the many tall thin windows of the design. These have been spaced randomly to mimic the glimpses of view that can be seen through the trees while walking through a rainforest like the one that surrounds the design.
