ARCH1102 Project 3 Final Submission

Kiosk@Boundary + Bicycle Parking & Workshop + Gallery Tower

In project 3, a gallery tower is being added to the existing structures - the kiosk and bicycle workshop. The definition of the gallery tower is a building that is at least 2 storeys high, with a minimum 3m height of each level. Other elements to be added include internal stairs and a minimum of one skylight. The gallery is being integrated into the undulating roof, creating a more dramatic effect, keeping the roof as the point of interest. As art galleries do not welcome direct sunlight as it will damage the exhibits, a non-movable louvered wall is being implemented on the north opening of the above ground gallery to reduce the amount of direct sunlight received, yet allowing diffuse light in from the south through the skylight. 

ARCH1102 Project 2 Final Submission

Kiosk@Boundary + Bicycle Parking & Workshop

The idea for this project was to extend the roof form of the kiosk to allow lines to flow more continuously. Zones C and D were the chosen areas to carry out this scheme. The left side of zones C and D is simplified so as to not take away focus or distract the focus of the dynamic roof form. The use of slopes is implemented to allow easy transition from one area to another. They are also used to accentuate the sloped environment and also the angled roof design. The wall of the kiosk facing zone B is now opened so that there is more connection to the workshop instead of being an imposing presence. Also, the store room of the workshop is now linked to that of the kiosk. Circulation in the built areas and surrounds is encouraged through a more open concept of space. The incorporation of columns as supporting structures can be observed in the workshop scheme and it is adapted from the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Pavilion precedent study.
