Exam Theme Freedom and / or limitations. My work links to the exam theme since it will provide the workers in the creative hub some freedom due to the fact that there will be open outdoor space on the building – something many work spaces/corporate buildings do not have.
Brief To create a unique building that is mutli functional (creative) hub that encompasses different spaces and is fit for city life.
Specification The building must have several storeys so that it can have a variety of functions therefore it must have a variety of spaces for different corporate activities. There must be an emphasis on windows as this will allow natural light thus limit the amount of electricity being needed to light the building. Additionally, it must have an outside space in order to meet the needs of the people who will be using the building as they may need to go out to smoke or use the outside area when they are on their break from work. 5
Delugan Meissl & the Hyundai Motor studio
6
It is a simple structure on the outside, and is open allowing cars to be presented– (similar to an urban or natural landscape, where visitors can wander freely, Meissl has tired to reflect this on the interior). It has been designed to suit the many functions of ; sales, museum and services, all in one structure. These functions are situated in horizontal areas, one above the other. About 2/3 of the building is underground therefore has less impact on the landscape and does not negatively impact it. Meissl’s Hyundai motor studio successfully encompasses technology, functionality, comfort and sustainability (this can clearly be seen in her other buildings such as the Porsche Museum and the Austrian Festival Hall). Her aim was to create a complete and integral experience of the brand Hyundai for the customers. The sharp edges in her buildings gives them a unique and modern twist, making them visually appealing as well as interesting.

I was inspired by the roof structuring of the motor studio thus I have developed the model in the previous slide to create something in the style of the studio. The studio was also multi functional and encompassed a variety of different rooms so I have also made my building suitable in order to be multifunctional – I have done this through the number and shape of the rooms. I decided to locate the structure in hub in London as majority of corporate hubs are located in popular cities. I chose this particular area (Globe town) given that it is the best branded locality in London and the hub I designed also fits into the buildings that surround it.

Hubba-to : co-working space
11
Hubba-to is a co-working space. The architects wanted a playful format for a mixture of businesses and individual clients who require space for different needs. The whole space suits the needs of the target audience (giving them individual spaces for their particular line of work) whilst providing an environment that is comfortable and creative. It allows the people who have different businesses to focus on their own work in different areas as well as come together in the social areas, e.g. CafÊ and seating areas. The exaggerated network of turquoise painted pipework is the most predominant feature. In my opinion is very striking and provides a clear theme throughout the interior. The interior space is also very open and includes high windows in order to let in extra natural light – there is not many lights as the main source for it is natural light.
I use inspiration from Hubba to which helped me create rooms suitable for a multifunctional building. I made sure that the room all has different thus the layout of the are all different.

Renzo Piano & the Shard
13
The Shard is has mixed uses such as; entertainment, residential units, offices and an observation gallery. Levels 3 - 28 provide office space where each of the floors contain naturally ventilated winter gardens. These spaces allow people to enjoy the outside environment as they may be stuck in the office all day. The shape of the Shard gets narrower at the top, disappearing into the air like the mast of a tall ship.
The architect, Piano, is very well known for his elegant, light and detailed buildings which have characteristics of lightness for example, the glass structure of them as well as the glass window allow a lot if light to enter all floors on the building. I chose this particular architect for the reason that majority of his buildings allow in natural light by having an emphasis on windows – this is something I want my building to include as it will help reduce lighting costs and give an open feel to the building as it will be located in a city where open space is limited.

IDEA 1 • Inspired by Delugan Meissl’s Hyundai Motor studio • Created these models as was inspired by and her sharp lines in the building and almost abstract geometric buildings.
15
Using string and creating moulds for plaster models allowed me to create sharp lines and almost geometric patterns/shapes which reflects the style of Meissls work.

Initial sketches/ideas that involve sharp lines/geometric shapes Shapes from models
Own shapes

Idea from chosen sketch
The images to the left show how the geometric shape influenced the design for my idea 1. The high, sharp point is reflected in the building providing a shade area which people can stand under when they are on their break from work

IDEA 2 • I used inspiration from clay models • They produced random and intricate designs inspired by the work of Piano
20
The model below was created out of my inspiration from the random patter produced in my clay models. I specifically took inspiration rom the s like/ curved lines of the clay model
21
I added to the model in order to create a complex-like structure as this would be suitable for a multifunctional hub
I took part of the model in order to refine my ideas in order to produce a model from the curved lines. The shape looks similar to that of a letter S which inspired me to create a curved/S like model 22
Influenced by close up of S shape model
23
Development of chosen sketch Adding levels and adapting the sketch to include outdoor space to meet specification and make the structure more complex
Adding windows
24
Window Experimentation I experimented with the windows of the model as I wanted to create something unique which was inspired by the delicate and detailed designs of Piano. I decided to go with this design of windows given that it was it more detailed than the others

IDEA 3
28
I created this model from plaster – not knowing what the outcome would be however I was able to successfully adapt it to suit my specifications of having some sort of outside space to suit my target audience as well as develop a set of ideas.
29
Using inspiration from my model and the sketches on the previous slides I began looking for objects or parts of buildings that have circular shapes. This helped me deiced how the outdoor space could potentially fit into my building and how a building could be influenced by a circular shape – would it be suitable for a multifunctional hub?

Initial sketches/ideas
The image on the right shows a close up of the outdoor area on the roof of the sketch
Inspiration from the shape of the model to create a plan view sketch which then I could develop into a building sketch 31
Development of chosen sketch I chose to develop this sketch as it has several levels which is essential for a multifunctional hub. The levels also meant that I could add outdoor space to one of the levels, in order to meet the needs of my the target audience.

33
Development of (physical) model
I used CAD to develop and refine my model as well as add furniture in order to put the hub into context. I also added a glass ceiling in order to let more light enter the building – I took inspiration from Piano (who built the Shard) and may other buildings that have an emphasis on window to allow in natural light. 34
I changed the scale of the model since it was too small for its purpose, the scale also allowed me to enlarge the outdoor space to make it efficient and suitable.

35
Final for idea 3
This model was primarily inspired by the idea of circles staked upon each other to create several storeys – stacking them irregularly allowed me to create an outdoor space for the target audience. Each of the 4 storeys encompass different areas in the hub making it multifunctional, suitable for a range of various activities. 36
Development towards final outcome
38
Porsche Museum
Reflection:
I was inspired by the work of Renzo Piano whose buildings featured a lot of windows in order to provide natural light, which I also wanted my building to feature thus I made sure windows played an important feature in my design – making up majority of it. Additionally, after analyzing the work of architect Meissal (especially her designing pf the Porsche Museum) which features a creative styled roof consisting of sharp lines.
38
Development towards final
I created these designs using a combination of ideas 1 and 2 which inspired me to combine straight and curved lines. I began by experimenting with roof designs which were inspired by the straight lines used in the geometric patterns when developing idea 1. 39
Alternative design to final
Back of building
The image below shows the outdoor roof space of the hub – I have located it on the top of the building rather than outside since city paces have limited open space
40
Development to final design I decided to develop this design and make the surface area larger as well as include sharper lines. I created this design using a combination of ideas 1 and 2 which inspired me to combine straight and curved lines. I began by experimenting with roof designs which were inspired by the straight lines used in the geometric patterns when developing idea 1.
41
Changing the tiers
I changed the tiers of the different shapes which allowed me to add suitable outdoor space as well as make the building more abstract. It allowed me to provide different functions to the different tiers which act as individual spaces but are joined together due to their formation. I will create a physical model similar to this for my final design.
42
Final outcomes Physical model & CAD model
43
Final Model My final model meets the brief and specifications as provides outdoor space for the clients on top of building as city life has limited open space on the ground where a suitable and spacious area may not be available. The hub provides freedom through the use of open space where it is limited in the city Components that make up the final
