1.0 THREE RELATIONSHIPS 1.1 Point / Line / Plane 1.2 Mass 1.3 Frame & Infill

1.1 POINT / LINE / PLANE Point, line and plane is essential when it comes to design and structure. Basically, every structure in this world comprised all of these elements. These elements are compleing each other. it all started with point where form point it can be line when two points is connected to each other and from line it also can be plane as plane can be form by connecting the lines from any direction together.

But still, these are all also based on personal interpretation where some some people defined them differently with others, so basically there is no exact definiton of these elements.

Lines

Planes

Points

Comprise of several lines that are used to combine two part of planes

The plane used is triangular shape that are different in size and are put together to produce a form

The point would be the intersection or the meeting point of the plane and lines as well as as the edges of the triangle of the form.

Process

The Eutrigon Theorem The idea of the model was from this Eutrigon theorem, where it basically comprised of multiple triangle in a singular form and the area of each traingle somehow would be similiar to each other.

10

Final Model

The model is a triangular shape w that were combined to each othe the lines.

Here i used the line as a joint wh nect two different planes, i put l rigidand hold them in place.

The idea of this structure is a pla where it got a place to sit as we part, it is like a staircase by any esting to climb over and also th

ace for people to hang out and relax, ell as the place to lay down. The lines chances and kids may found it interhey can slide down using the planes

1.2 MASS Based on my definition of mass, it is something that is heavy, huge,solid and also got to do with gravity, From the image of Luray Cavern, it’s clearly show the definiton mass. This is because the cavern itself is a huge and solid form where it is located underground. thus the feeling of being in the underground, in the cavern would be feeling of mass, since one can feel the sensation of mass that is pressing upon them.

Luray Cavern

14

What i did for this mass drawing was, i created a natural cavern form with a few opening where the light can get in and i made the inner pathway narrow to show that this cavern is a solid form. i also added the hanging downward structures in this cave to show the present of the gravity more clearly in this drawing and also it is also something is going to attract the people in someway. i created two different spaces which is one is quite bright since there is light source above it and the other is a dark area where there no light can reach that area. The idea is to make people to feel the mass when they are here. i want to make them feel of being envelope and surrounded so that it will make them to feel the weight, the compression and the feeling of mass of the earth is like pressing upon them when they are underground.

15

ohoihoi

From this task, for me i think the lighting also can be considered as mass especially when it’s dark. You can feel something is around you and it is like pressing upon you. this is the feeling and the sensation of being in the darkness, feeling of being enveloped and surrounded eventhough there is nothing above or nearby you.

16

1.3 FRAME & INFILL The model is made of balsa sticks and white boxboard.

This is a minimal kind of design where it made of several rectangle and i created more rectangle in it as well and keep it symmetrical where each side is basically the same. The idea of this design is i want to make the people experience the feeling of being balance in someway based on this symmetrical kind of design. The focus of this design would be at centre where it got upper level so people would be more attracted to that part.

2.0 HERRING ISLAND : A PLACE FOR KEEPING SECRETS

2.1 Site Analysis

Herring island is the only island located on the Yarra River. It is an artificial island that was formed in1928 by cutting a new path for thr Yarra River through an old basalt quarry. it was formed as part of a plan to control the flooding of the river

The Herring island is 3.2 hectares in only by boat

The island have lot of vegetation comprises of remainder of indigenous riparian forest and meadow groups, and additionally local and exotic species that have been planted over the past 60 years Location Como Landing, Alexandra Ave South Yarra 3141 23

This is the track or pathway provided on the island in order to prevent the people to walk on the wrong area and also as a precaution steps.

size and accesible

Basically, the climate in here is hot during summer, cold during winter and balmy autumn/springs. The island gets high solar/ sun exposure especially at the open area since there are no trees at that area which is a suitable spot for picnic and to do activities.

This is how the shadows on the island going to be, it is important to analysis it since my secrets is related with the sun and the shadow that is going to be projected

2.2 Concept Design

The concept this derived from this im The maze itself is a secret where poe and people also can lost in it. I found where it combined nature and man

at the maze, so it will have below the ground, nd.

green element which will make the pavilion er word, co-exist.

26

Concept Model A rectangular form that comprises of all three levels, above ground which is like a roof structure but people also can walk on it.

On the ground level, it can bee seen that it’s like a hanging pathway and there is a opening in between Below the ground, i put a downward slope in the middle as a entrance to the underground.

Above the ground On the ground Below the ground

27

Process I started with a rectangle and divide into two part. i drew several half rectangles on one side and cut it according to lines.

Then i pull all the part that i cut upward and flip them to the other side After that i folded the end of the cut planes to make it perpendicular so that it can be flat as a roof.

I also make a downward slope for underground part.

28

2.3 Concept Development

Since i focused on minimal and symmetrical type of design, i started with a flat single rectangle.

29

Then i offset it to make more rectangle inside it and i divided it into two part where i put a line in between.

After that, i extruded them to make a levels of above the ground, on the ground and b ground.

s comprised below the

Only then i have to put the pathway or the way how people can go to every level of this pavilion.

This is how the final development looks like, i make it thicker since it got three level. I also created a downward slope so that people can walk to down as well as the staircase for people to go to below ground level.

2.4 Final Design

The final design is a symmetrical form kind of maze and the whole pavilion is actually below the ground but still it consist of three levels that are required,

2.5 Secrets The pavilion itself is a secret, this is because of the whole pavilion strcuture is below the ground and flat which mean people from a certain distance cannot see the pavilion. They have to come closer and once the reach certain distance towards the pavilion, they will notice that there is something down there and thatcreate the feeling of secret there.

The app

is the secret of the pavilion, the shadow texts. The shadow of the text is going to be projected on the wall below the ground level when the sun is up, nerally during midday and it will disappear when the sun is down. People have to go underground level to see this text, and since the underground l el is quite dark, it is see for people to recognised the shadow text when they first see it. The text says that “EARTH WITHOUT ART IS JUST EH� is really tched with the function of the island. Generally, Herring island got lots of artworks like sculptures and also held lots of art events, thus, it would be a od idea if i put the shadow text as a secret and let the people to interpret the meaning of it themselves.

shadow of the text would be a litte bit different according to the season, this is due to the winter and summer solstice, but still the shadow text will still pear on the wall.

I also included the secret where children will recognised it. it is located underneath the staircase where there are small opening that are about children’s height and it can only be access by children since only they can fit to get in.

The space is not that big but should be fit about five kids at the same time.

3.0 Reflection Earth studio is my first architecture studio and i believe this is the basic subject for architecture studio. i found this subject is quite interesting since earth and arhitecture is really connected to each other since earth is essential for architecture. Even though it was basic and fun at the same time, i also found this subject quite challenging due to its works and submissions.

Im very into architecure and somehow i think this kind of assesment really help me to improve myself and also help me to understand how things especially the process works and benefits us later. At the end of the day, all the processes that we were doing since the first day is very important because only from that we can see our potentials and how we were doing throughout semester.

I found that , if we making something, It is not just about the final product, but the process of making that product also have to put into account where if we can deal with both, im pretty sure we will be succeed in any subject.
