Final Developed Environment of The Bridge








Finally, the bridge comes to an end. The bridge has exemplifies the theory of Daylight and Open Spaces and how they can work together to create a natural and comfortable spaces for students and staffs to work.

Draft Environment

Draft Environment of the Building




In here, we can see the 4 images that showing the draft environment of the building. It shows how the building can sit on between NIDA, squarehouse and Aquatic Centre. In here, the building itself havent been colored and uses the correct material for the building. However, we can see how it could be said that the buidling sits appropriately in the context as a bridge and a connecting building between squarehouse and the surrounding buildings.

Sectional Drawing and Building Design Process

This section is drawn based on the Riverside Museum by Zaha Hadid. The point that I use in here is that the building should have an sun penetration from everywhere and the use of open spaces.

In here, I use the Zaha Hadid's The Peak as my section and redraw it as a lecture theatre. It is only a small part of the building, though.
In this drawing, I explored many different plans that can be used as a section of the drawing. The top left is taken from The Pantheon in Rome plan, which extends the use of daylight and some places to hang out, while the top right is taken from the plan of Bilbao Museum by Frank Gehry.

From these sectional drawings, I started to modify and plan the building as a part of the plan.
I use the lecture theatre sectional drawing as one of the building section, and also the Zaha Hadid's one as the main building design. 

In Here, as we can see, is the drawing design of the building, where on the left side it is connected to the square house, the right side is connected to the Aquatic centre and in the middle, the bridge is connected to NIDA.

As time goes by, I also recall the main theory of the building, which is Daylight and open space.
In here, I design the bridge circulation as a whole and started to design the bridge canopy or roof and making sure that the building has open spaces that also utilize daylights from the sun.

Building Space Requirements

After that, I design the building main structure and the interior of the building as it needs to fulfill all of the requirements of the buildings. In here, there are 3 levels, from ground level, first and second floor. In ground floor, there are computer labs and library for the student to use. Moving to the second floor, there are gallery that also functions as a bridge to NIDA, studio spaces, toilets and meeting rooms for students and staffs. Lastly, on the third floor there are Lecture theatres, workshop and offices for academic staff and for general staffs.

Building Roof Design

For the roof of the building, I choose to put grass and natural environment as it supports the idea of daylight and open spaces. It helps as it could improve the circulation of the building and also the main idea of the building, utilizing an open space but still conserve the natural environment all around it. In here, I also use glass as the hallways' roof as it could improve daylighting but still uses the open spaces.

Bridge as a Gallery

In between NIDA and the building, I design a pedestrian walkway that also functions as a Gallery. It still uses the glass roof as its shelter, but the roof in here could be removed or moved to a place that improve natural and open spaces of the building.

6 Two Point Perspectives Drawing

From these 6 two point perspectives drawing, I decided to use the bottom one as it could connect 3 buildings, which are NIDA, Aquatic centre and Squarehouse. Its circulation also can be seen quite clearly from the 2 point perspective drawing too.

18 One Point Perspectives Drawing

Here are the 18 one point perspectives drawing that already been photoshopped and compiled together as a group. From these 6 unique extended crucifix, it mostly maximising the possibilities and the chances of long extended circulation throughout the lower campus and Squarehouse.

From these 6, I decided to explore more of the number 4 and 6 from top to the bottom, as it is most reasonable and logical as it is put on site.
