Development of Model Draft 2 - Plan/Section

Outline of Spaces - development in Sketchup with consideration to both draft 1 (perspectives) and plan/section below. I've done my draft planned exterior structure of the rooms, not the interior. 

Red- Entrance/ main foyer/ offices/ meeting rooms 

Orange- Bridge paths. 

Green- Studio spaces

Yellow- Lecture theatre/s

Purple- offices (under the bridge) 

Blue- Library/ study spaces/ chill out spaces 

Moving Components
Lecture theatre can connect to either the squarehouse or the studio spaces. Acts like a "bridge". Sometimes tutorials are straight after the lecture, so depending on where tutorials are located the lecture theatre can be moved for convenience.

Window in the studio space can slide up and down. Normally it would be half-open for ventilation, however some instances such as rain and wind means a fully covered wall is necessary. Bottom half is glass, top half is wood. Issue: large amounts of glazing on the south means that it will get really really cold during the winter- however the view from the spaces above university mall will be horrible if I just block it up.... ....

Bridge at night 

Curved walkway over University Mall. Stairs lead to the structure above

Inside one of the spaces in the structure facing the studio spaces

Offices underneath the bridge. Stairs will be implemented. 

Main foyer space etc. 

To do: (24/5/16)

Theory: I want to focus on the phrase in particular "gestures towards engagement" that sort of broadly describes my theory in general. 

- so I want to change my moving element (window) to walls inside the main foyer space on the ground level. At full height they can create spaces for meetings, at half height they can create display benches for a gallery, and at no height the space can be used for events.

I thought of this just then. I will model soon!

- for spaces above university mall- I want to make them more interlocking i.e. corner of one space is used as a table in another space. see functionality of: http://www.archdaily.com/7638/final-wooden-house-sou-fujimoto

Figure purpose for each space and path through - architecture than can be engaged with!

- make some areas of the bridge less "open", and perhaps at different heights. - lockers and shelves can be implemented in these closed in areas! see: http://www.dezeen.com/2016/05/24/home-at-arsenale-slovenian-pavilion-library-dekleva-gregoric-architects-venice-architecture-biennale-2016/. This would be constructed on the sides and above the bridge , with some openings closed for lockers, and some open to allow light and ventilation (not made out of wood)

- make the lecture theatre look better and versatile?
