In this A1 sheet I included a site plan, the three plans from the previous drawing and a perspective view in front of the grandstand. The perspective view of the walkway was lacking movement and this is the reason why I drew in modules of triangulated walls. Though my tutor and I agreed to work on other methods of enhancing this space using techniques such as texture, the addition of a feature wall or using illumination. We also decided that the pier itself was lacking innovation and that the piles interruped the view to the end of this walkway.
Drawing 2 - Submitted Section & Elevation
The East - West section (top left) show the main area of my design such as the grandstand, change-rooms, pier and multipurpose rooms. Next to this section is another section showing the community kitchen, gym/hall and administration area. The reason why I added this in is because I wanted to show the roof structure and that the administration area goes further into the ground compared to the rest of the building. On the right of this section you can also see the window that I drew in my previous blog post.
The North - South section shows the building from left to right mainly focusing on the North side of the building. In this drawing it became apparent that the roofs were too different and began to lose part of the overall scheme.
In both elevations I included some context such as the trees, roads, and surrounding buildings to show the scale of my building design and how it blends in with its surroundings. The building heights don't rise so high to prevent the Senior Citizens Club behind from losing their precious views.
Drawing 3 - Plans
This drawing consists of a series of plans showing my PARTI and how the final plan was derived.
On the top left is a drawing of the linear shape of Coogee pier and below it are the lines that helped shape the final plan. The darkest lines and the thickest lines are the most important as they make up the major walls and spaces.
The middle drawing is another PARTI drawing showing what solids/voids create the shape of the buildings and walkways. In this drawing the darkest shades represent the buildings that are embedded further in the ground.
The drawing on the right is the final 1:200 Plan of the abstract lines put together with the solids/voids drawings. This drawing also shows the walls that divide the spaces showing that I've considered the placement of each space thus satisfying the brief.
On the top the Gym/Hall has the admin area for staff on the very right and the community centre on the left. The cafe is situated in the middle of the drawing and the multipurpose rooms are underneath the pier. Behind the existing grandstand I have added in an extension 5 metres long to use the space for change-rooms, rub-down room on the top level and workshop and equipment area on ground floor.
Drawing 4 - Sections including Detailed 1:20 Section of Wall, Floor & Roof of Gym/Hall
After speaking to an engineer Waldo from ARCH1261 - Structures & Construction 2, I took his advise in using concrete T's that are precast and then concrete is poured in-situ above this precast system of T's thus forming the final shape of the roof. The system is structural and aesthetically great with good acoustics as well. The detail section shows this roof system as well as the floor slabs and wall connections.
Drawing 5 - Perspectives
These perspectives show the 3 main spaces.
It shows a view of the walkway in front of the grandstand and under the pier (left), the walkway that takes you through to the oval from the street (top right) and inside the gym under the skylight. (bottom right)
Model Photo 1
For this submission I made another rough 1:200 cardboard model to help me gain a better understanding of the building within the site and the depths and heights involved all over my design. I also cut through the building and site to see the inside spaces, how light enters the spaces and the scale and size of each space.
Model Photo 2
This is an aerial view of the model without a roof to show each new space that I've included in 3D.
Model Photo 3
In this model the part that is surrounded by the red highlight is the cafe (left) and gym, community kitchen and administration area (right) with a walkway/entrance dividing the two spaces. In the previous model this entire section of my design didn't as much a link to the core idea but now the geometry is linked making the design more meaningful, conceptual and practical.
