11ITERATION ONE; my first iteration sought to create a form that suited my programme, and also of the context around it. there were alot of bridges linking the West bank to the East bank, where the latter had an already developed ABCs pavilion and gardens that were underused. thus, i sought to bring back more activity to the east bank, while containing the programme within the boundaries of the St.Andrew’s schools.

PLANS

The shape of the building is cranked so that every circulation path would bring you back into this closed loop. It is in correlation to the aquaponics programme and situates itself in line with the wind and river flow direction. with starting, mid and end nodes for human circulation, the visitors of the c4 will gather around these nodes and spill out into the activity spaces. This circulation path also brings us around a situated tour that is in line with the aquaponics closed-loop system, enabling one to learn both visually and also interact with the system itself. It has spaces for both public and school use, for the intention of making it a school programme.

39HIERACHY OF SPACES

Potong Pasir Loop consists of 3 main layers - (from top to bottom) : Level 3 - Roof Garden and Bridge, accessible by the general public Level 2 - Main Gallery Space, amentities and maintenance space Level 1 - Farming Areas, fish and crops

The C4 accomodates for both the public and the private, allowing it to function as a bridge, a gallery space and a farm all at once. Hierachy in spaces like the main gallery space on level 2 is shown by the double roof height, bringing in extra light and importance to the main circulation node. More private spaces like maintenance spaces for the fish are put at the ends, where there is lesser human circulation , for more privacy for the students and workers that are carrying out tasks there.
