Left - Site strategy sketch - bridge axis Right - Sketch exploring distribution of light wells and solid facade punctured by main light core

Early axonometrics of each floor exploring the stairs as an element which joins the 3 solid modules together - pathways sit outside of the spaces, so interaction across the space is necessitated - one must go out into the central circulation zone in order to move between the spaces.

Right - Photographs of 1:500 form model on site - design development - 6th iteration | Birch plywood and perspex

[ Year 4 ] FASHION INSTITUTE - Interacting | Scrutinizing Across The Void

Photographs of final 1:500 form model | Birch plywood and perspex Exploring solidity of street facade and relationship between 3 solid modules and 3 light cores running in two directions.

Relationship to bridge is emphasized, with the main light core acting as a visual cue to those wallking over the river towards Clyde Street.

South elevation 1200 | CAD and Photoshop Desire for monumentality - the lightness of the interior is contrasted with the solidity of the exterior

Photographs of 1:200 model | Lasercut card and perspex Above - Views exploring relationship between 3 solid outer modules with light circulation core at centre Right - Interior view - interaction across central open space

Facade Detail Section and Elevation 1:100 | CAD and Photoshop

Photographs of Structural model 1:100 - Lasercut card Structural system of concrete columns 400x400 and beams which are fully exposed in the central void space and partially exposed on some walls, they act as supports for the delicate metal walkways

Exploded Axonometric highlighting primary elements 1:1000 | CAD and Photoshop 3 solid bars are separated by a light circulation core at the centre which brings the disparate modules together and encourages interaction across and between the spaces. 3 light cores enclose the stair cores and bring light down into the building

Detail of Section A-A 1:100 | CAD and Photoshop Circulation - walkways and stairs

Section B-B - 1:200 | CAD and Photoshop Metal circulation stairs run up through both light cores Wakways cross through between the main blocks of space on the North and South

[ Year 3 ] STORAGE VESSELS AND WHISKEY TASTING - Whiskey as a Measure of the Landscape

Roof Plan 1:500 | CAD and Photoshop Highlighting materiality, views to distillery and valley to the North/North West, and to fields and farm buildings to the South, from top floor vessel

[ Year 2 ] DANCE CENTRE - Antagonizing The Ando Walls

Studios - light, glowing modules, frosted, low-iron U-profile glass, float above rest of building

Atrium - glazed connecting space, cut into by other modules, light filled brings light down into ground floor

Ground floor modules - heavy concrete, undercroft, accommodates rest of program, sits in landscape

Landscaping - lifting and folding of existing ground, building emerges from it, manipulates experience of existing Ando pavilion

Left - Exterior view of 1:100 model looking South West showing studios as a light feature on the site. Light, glowing blocks emerging from heavy sculpted landscape, glowing studios and atrium light up the surroundings.

Form model exploring the juxtaposition of low, solid, enclosed spaces, an open courtyard and one tall, open, light space Oak, perspex and laser-cut card Right - More refined form model exploring proposition as a juxtaposition of low, solid elements and one tall, cubic, light space The wood represents this solidity whilst the wax cast represents the light filled space of the cubic atrium Wax and plywood
