Project 3 - Development of Music and Performing Arts Centre

Our group has gone with curves for this project which resembles the coastline sanddunes. I had started with dome shapes and moulded the shape into above. The curves and free flowing of the form in this building suits the use of the building being Music and Performing Arts Centre.

SUN PATH DIAGRAM
EXISTING VEGETATION
The existing vegetation consists of native australian plants, trees etc. We would look to continue this theme throughout our master plan

WIND DIAMGRAM
The harsh south westerly winter winds were the most noticeable. The north westerly in winter are alos quite strong at times however are note as cold. During the summer winds tend to come from the north in the morning and swing to the southeast during the afternoon. On a hot day the southeast wind is welcomed because it normally drops the temperature significantly.

AM WINTER SHADOW
We used the winter shaddow as we want to reduce the amount of shade during the winter months and increase natural sunlight in the designated open areas.

CONTROVERSIAL OVAL ABOUT

By providing a second point of access for the new school it will releive the pressures already impacted on grossmans road. A round about is a free flowing alternative.

AERIAL PERSPECTIVES
The blue object resembles the area alocated to classrooms and the like, the green space is alocated for a sports centre and the red is admin. The blue area will be divided up into an arts/technology centre and teaching classrooms. The form will obviously change throughout project 3.


PM WINTER SHADOW

This diagram show that even later in the day the open space as idicated by the grey rectangle still remains sunny.

Project 1 - Research - Materials



i found this structural timber framed design of Marlowe Academy. this just shows we can move away from steel to use a more sustainable material.
