EXPERIMENT TWO: THE BRIDGE

EXPERIMENT TWO: THE BRIDGE

At the beginning of the experiment of defined my Architectural theory as the need, " to stimulate individuals into attaining a certain emotional and physical ambition, which is derived for the designs ability to transcend the past and time."

Hero shot: The building above represents the very Architectural theory that was defined at the start of the experiment, whereby the timeless shapes, open spaces and abundance of natural light are extremely influential in stimulating individuals into a state of mind that not only prepares them for the tasks ahead (with a large amount of student designated spaces) but enables them to develop a sense of warmth and positive energy for their studies.

ARCHITECTURAL MOVEMENT

Above is a video depicting architectural movement. Admittingly  these two features are very practical and are useful in aiding both the functional and aesthetic features of the building.

The first moving element is a feature that follows the sun from the east. The purpose of this to prevent the library from receiving two much sunlight.

The second moving element is an elevator. This is just a practical feature. However it is important to highlight that the elevator accentuates vertical movement due to being glass, enabling individuals to be transformed onto a metaphorical vertical bridge.

THEORY: NEWS ARTICLE
https://architectureau.com/articles/architecture-as-social-facilitator-the-architecture-symposium-brisbane-2019/

The news article above, " Architecture as social facilitator: The Architecture Symposium, Brisbane 2019," not only stresses the importance of delivering architecture beyond "built form," but highlights the need for architecture to evoke feelings that connects humanity and serves "our own human condition."

Hence I have chosen that for architecture to serve as a social facilitator, it must reflect the following three words:

1. Stimulate 
2. Transcend 
3. Ambition

Thus, the Architectural theory of the design is to stimulate individuals into attaining a certain emotional and physical ambition, which is derived for the designs ability to transcend the past and time.
