ARCH1102 Project 1 Final Submission

Kiosk@Boundary

I was inspired by the sloped roads in the environment and also circulation from Reid Avenue to Dowling Street. Thus I came up with a design that integrated both ideas from Alvaro Siza's and Mies van der Rohe's projects. Inspiration from Siza can be observed on the exterior while that of Mies van der Rohe's is expressed in the interior. The design is rectilinear in plan but diagonally dynamic at eye level. In plan, the design seems like it has pitched roofs since there are horizontals against verticals. This relates to the surrounding architecture where pitched roofs are common. It also integrates into the other zones, where gradual sloping is implemented from zone D, and where the wall next to zone B is being pushed back, to reduce imposition in the zone.
