The Barcelona Pavilion was first designed as a temporary structure for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona (Kroll, 2011). Unlike other pavilions within this Exposition which housed art and sculptures, Mies van der Rohe built the Barcelona Pavilion to exist as its own entity- as an inhabitable sculpture (Kroll, 2011). Although the Pavilion was deconstructed in 1930, it was rebuilt in 1983 using the remaining original plans and drawings (mieasbcn, 2017). Within today’s context, the Barcelona Pavilion has maintained Mies van der Rohe’s modernist preoccupation of light and weightlessness (influenced by the interior designer Lilly Reich) (Kroll, 2011; McQuaid, 1996). The surrounding vegetation has created a microcosm of tranquility that exists within the bustling city of Barcelona (Kroll, 2011).

Access Points Will determine how the ramp is deigned to connect to existing pathways.
Transparent Surfaces with Exterior Views Can showcase the surrounding natural environment, therefore positioning should be carefully considered
Water Bodies Can be used as a connection between the Pavilion and the Maribyrnong River within its new site (Left Top) Figure 1. Sketch depicting the Barcelona Pavilion in it original site.

DATE: 13.08.2017
Through creating an embankment over the Maribyrnong River, the Barcelona Pavilion rests over the water body. Looking down onto the Pavilion you would experience a synthesis of built form and natural environment as the pools of the Barcelona pavilion would reflect the same light as the Maribyrnong River. This concept was influenced by Mies van der Rohe's original design in which the pavilion was a piece of inhabitable art (Kroll, 2011), and through its careful placement within Brimbank Park we hope to transform the natural surroundings similarly.

These ink diagrams represent the design process from firstly studying the precedentSky Walk by Franek Architects (refer to 1.2.3) and how it's fundamental shapes exists within its environment. The second diagram was an exploration into the silhouette of the ramp against the skyline of the site and how it exists fluidly amongst its environment. The exploration of lines within the third diagram created an understanding of how the ramp may exist in harmony along the ground plane.

Interesting viewpoint when walking as you can see the winding ramp as other people walk through it. A play between the dynamics of human and nature relationships
Design Goals
Addition of a viewing platform
Once the form was decided upon, the ramp was designed to exhibit Brimbank Park's best features. The first portion of the ramp wraps around the meandering Maribyrnong River; its form existing harmoniously. The second portion of the ramp runs between old existing trees on site and begins to rise of the ground where an audience can walk immersive amongst the trees. The third raised portion of the ramp exists as a viewing platform so that both the Barcelona Pavilion and ramp can be admired as a cohesive art instillation as Mies van der Rohe had conceived within his original design.

Figure 3. The ramp of Bioscience 3 Building exhibits the rise and run measurements taken. (Bailey, 2017)
BIOSCIENCE 3 BUILDING University of Melbourne Australia To find the gradient of this ramp found within the University of Melbourne Parkeville Campus, both the height and length were measured and used in the equation: rise/run = gradient 0.55m/7m = 7.8% = 1:12.8 Accordingly, this ramp is currently steeper than the Australian Standards. This may be due to the age of the ramp and safety requirements at the time it was built.

PENGUIN PLUS VIEWING AREAS (2016) Tract Consultants with Wood Marsh Architecture, Australia Using Nearmap an Elevation Profle was generated from a ‘path’ (as seen in blue) which leads up the seaside ramp. Using GPS it was found that: -The averege gradient is 1:100 -The steepest slope is 1:14 However, according to the Australian Standards which asserts that ramps steeper than 1:33 need landings, it is more likely that this ramp is 1:33.

SALANIS SWIMING POOLS (2006) Global Arquitectura Paisagista, Madrid It was found that: The average slope is 1:14 (within the Australian Standards) However: The ramp lacks handrails and landings (both are required for this gradient) The steepest slope on the ramp is 1:4.5

CANTILEVERED WALLS
GRAVITY RETAINING WALLS
Figure 11. Diagram od a gravity retaining wall. (Equipment4all, 2010)
Figure 12. Maisonry retaining wall. (Recon Walls, 2015)
Figure 13. Diagram of cantilevered Walls (Equipment4all, 2010)
Figure 14. Construction of retaininng wall using cantilevered technique (O'Neill, 2015)
Gravity walls are often made of stone, concrete or other heavy materials. Mostly trapezoidal in shape to improve stability by leaning into retained soil. Depends on the material weight to resist earth pressure and the forces of the soil. Needs rigid footing unless in frost areas.
Cantilevered walls are used for resisting steep soil slopes. Reinforced concrete walls that behave as cantilever beams. Reinforced with steel beams, it utilizes the weight of the earth or the backfill on the heel.
SHEET PILING RETAINING WALLS
CRIBLOCK RETAINING WALLS
Figure 15. Piling retaining wall diagram (China Steelpiling, 2017)
Figure 16. Timber piling wall has a sleek profile. (H.B. Flemming, 2013)
Sheet pile retaining wall are typically used in soft soils and tight spaces. It can be made of steel, vinly or wood which is driven into the ground. Tall walls will need an anchor that is placed in the soil and tied to the wall.
1.2.3 RETAINING WALL TYPES
Figure 17. Crickblock retaining wall diagram (Retaining Wall Solutions, 2017)
Figure 18. A criblock wall is used here to retain a tall descent (SPECNET Building News, 2017)
Criblock walls are made of interlocking concrete ‘cribs’ that are filled with compacted fill. It is a type of gravity wall without steel reinforcements or a conventional foundation type. An attractive option as it is able to be planted in. Not suitable for support of slopes or structures.

This perspective was drawn from Length B12 looking up to the raised platform of length B30. Rather than focusing on materiality, this was an exercise in understanding how the form interacts with the surronding environment, including shade and shadow.
