Design Studio 4- Submission 2

The image has been altered to make it look as if the drawing is from the past with the use of colour effects.

This is my 1:20 EDGE Section close to the entrance of the main building in my new design. This area will be used for the foyer and maybe the staff offices right behind. This part of the building is slightly buried into the ground (600mm) and will include most of the other interior spaces. The reason why the roof is curved is because it is representing one of many waves that contributed to the destriction of the pier. Since the overall design is linked to this moment, I thought it would be important to display this theme in section and in plan.

In this drawing I have represented the 5 major themes by using different hatching and shading in areas of the section and using a single point perspective to show some context of both interior and exterior.

This new entrance will be more welcoming than the current fence that prevents the free flow of people coming into the oval. The reason why I chose this section is because it shows the transition from outside to inside and also from higher ground to lower ground thus pointing out THRESHOLD. It also shows the grassy hill that will roof this main building allowing the crowd to enjoy a closer view of the field. The stairs are made of both concrete with grass infill and the grass above the building are apart of my idea to represent RECIPROCITY within the drawing and oveall design. INFRASTRUCTURE is set up by the stairs, the pathway set up by the stairs, the windows that allow light into the interior and the grassy hill for the crowd. MATERIALITY is represented in diagonal hatching and the more dense materials such as the concrete foundation are shaded in darker pencil.




This is the 1:200 sections through the site showing a section through the grand stand and the other section through the main building.

INSERTION is represented in the bottom plan where I have "dramatized" the trees of the site to match that of the height variances in the building. INSERTION is also showed where the darkest shading is in the drawing such as the new pier, the addition to the grandstand and the new main building.

The use of the 5 themes help make the architecure more exciting, they are the driving forces for some of the design choices I have made so far such as the height variations in the buildings. Not only does this interpretation of insertion help create areas for more openings, it gives reasoning for a site responsive design of a building.
