My Design for the UNSW B.E Building
Inspiration
My inspiration in designing my building was the Absolute Towers by Burka Architects and MAD Studio. As a result, I wanted to develop a design near this and add an extra feature to it. As a result, I decided to develop an object in between that connected the two towers, but the object would also move up and down as an acting elevator and a lab for students to make their projects.
The truss structure that I have used to support my elevator is inspired from Roger Stirk Partners, which keeps both the structure stable and the elevator moving swiftly.
For my elevator, I wanted to make an intricate shape as it is an exhibition room which presents unique projects, so it should be seen as a unique room and I wanted to aim for a shape down below:
Developing the Design
In order of developing my design, I used grasshopper to establish my building and bridge.

Official Bridge
Design
How this relates to my theory?
It is simply innovative and unique through the use of Grasshopper, an upcoming design tool.
Technical Difficulties:
Converting from rhino to sketchup would not allow me to add walls and components meaning the interior was a challenge.

UNSW B.E Faculty Building Week 3
Understanding where to position things in the building - Blocking
In order to understand where to place each room and organise the building, I decided to block each room on top one another. So I had to consider how big I needed to make these rooms which would depend on the number of students intending on using each room.

Final Blocking

Theory
The method I used to develop this theory involved looking at a specific architectural firm and rather than looking for key words, I looked for key ideas that the firm puts as their goal to achieve.
There will be a continuous rise in digital design due to the innovative materials found and developed. The rise in digital infrastructure will be achieved through the growing adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a practice to improve design coordination and quality. This enables unprecedented flexibility, visualisation, clash detection and improved technical coordination within design.
