“THE EXTRUDED BUNKER” A bunker ontop of a bunker and a homage to science

The Inner Reinforcing Mesh

The Outer Reinforcing Mesh

Bum-of-the-Building

The built landscape pushes itself right up against the Physics Building.

Slope

There is a steep slope that falls from the top of the built landscape. This may act as a drain to stop a unnecessary built up of water in case of heavy rainfall. It may also be used by particularly brave visitors to climb up onto the extrusion.

Weep Hole

“There was to be an secluded, atmospheric internal space, centered around a reflecting pool which utilised the roof of the bunker as the base of the pool, all of which was aimed at inducing a state of quiet contemplation as well as a reverence for the might of science and nature within the visitor. The final landscape is an abstracted form on the site, resembling an extrusion that is both natural and manmade; much like the dichotomy between the organic vs. artificial nature of science.”

The exterior form slopes down to a hole through to the interior; it allows a dim illumination of the interior, as well as allowing water to drain into the reflecting pool and inform the users of the difference in interior/ exterior climates.

Entry

Primary entrance is via the steps leading from the Potter Cafe. It encourages customers of the cafe to explore the site.

Encroachment Untouched Areas

Some areas of the site were left untouched; this may allow for students to sprawl alongside the built-up landscape, however they may be discouraged to do so simply due to its monumental presence.

The built landscape overflows slightly onto the pavement alongside Swanson St; this intrusion imposes itself onto the public realm, and invites the public to come onto the university/cafe domain.
