WEEK ONE
Group Site Analysis: Group Partner: Tonia Pan
Visiting Site: My first impressions of site was that it was windy and I found the road junction to be kind of intimidating even along the footpath. The space didn’t feel very far from the moving traffic. However, away from the site and towards the park, it felt much calmer and quite nice to spend extended periods of time in, e.g. at the playground The site has two distinct feels, one to the park, the other to the road. A number of available amenities were also walkable. Tonia and I also brainstorm what we might map and were interested to take from the site Topics I wanted to potentially map: Traffic levels @ drop-off/pick-up times Surrounding building heights Street elevations/facades Wind/Sun/Shade PTV - access Property Zoning Nolli/Figure Ground Facilities Around Tonia additionally suggested: Connectivity Materiality: Ground and Facade History Feeling/Emotion
4
My Tasks to complete: PTV mapping Property zoning Nolli Available Facilities Traffic tracking: 3pm With traffic mapping, I wanted to get a gauge to how busy it would be in the area for kids arriving to school. Whether having a school bus or drop-off/pick-up zone would be necessary. As well as, the main access to the school and whether that would face heavy traffic that could pose a safety risk
5
WEEK ONE
A brainstorm for the representation of the traffic data I wanted to capture the movement of the vehicles and the temporality. As well as show a distinct difference between moving and stationary vehicles
For the nolli plan, I wanted to get a gauge as to the grain size of the neighbourhood. I wanted to know if there was an average that the project might aim to fall near to suit its context

For our concept collages, we wanted to depict one on verticality and the other on materiality and a tactile pedagogy The collage I created was for verticality (above). I wanted to capture a sense of grandeur and height through the vertical lines and columns in the image There were multiple in-progress iterations where the linework continuously changed, just due to issues with legibility

Prep Homeroom Yr1 Homeroom Yr2 Homeroom Yr 3 Homeroom Yr4 Homeroom Yr5 Homeroom Yr6 Homeroom Gym/Hall Reception/Nurse/Office Canteen Foodtec Language/IT Art Music Outdoor Mixed-use
I wanted to explore a number of different options in terms of how the spaces would be organized in relation to each other The sizes are based on the brief to estimate the amount of required floor area I wanted the floors to be composite, so it was mostly grouping the preps to two, threes to four, and fives to sixes together Then the specialist spaces would mostly go with the older years I also wanted the school to open up to the side of the park, as well as potentially stagger back along the north side to allow more sunlight 24
Additionally also had the thought of maybe having the homerooms be house shaped that intersected with the floor plate of the floors above, creating slanted spaces for play I drew some plans for the four test options, arranging the internal space differently in some to create oblique walls that was brainstormed in assignment 1 FEEDBACK: Consider staggered rooms along the ramp, so there is an associated function with the ramp Consider ground floor access
25
WEEK FOUR
Experimenting with ramps, ultimately giving up because it was giving me too much difficulty and not the visual result I had intended. So I decided to experiment with stairs instead I wanted a large staircase that acts as main entrance to school, creating that sense of arrival, as well as clearly separating the school from the road. I also wanted this stepped back from the sidewalk to create a buffer zone.
26
Experimenting with the floor plans of the fourth option I also leaned towards having these oblique walls to create interesting in-between spaces that could be ‘kid only’ and act as part of their play FEEDBACK: Bring the outdoor platform inwards, as to remain within site Be more generous with the amount of outdoor space being given The amount of public space at ground floor might not need to be as much The space between classrooms is mostly circulation, consider class placement for more usable internal space and solar access for classrooms 27
WEEK FOUR
These are reworked floor plans, whereby the main stairs come up from the park side towards the building. However they reach the first floor and go directly into a wall which doesn’t work particularly well The outdoor platforms also no longer overhang the site boundary FEEDBACK: Potentially have a ‘mezzanine’ floor under the first floor that breaks up the large stairs to create a first entrance point to the school, where the reception and other services could be positioned
28
In this iteration, the ground floor is more refined After completing these drawings I realized that a more effective way of doing the stairs would be to not have them coming directly from the park side FEEDBACK: The office at ground could be angled to allow a view to both the stairs going up to the school and down to the gym Additionally consider the placement of the columns - having a column in the middle of a walking space can be obstructive

The kitchen size and access is increased to a commercial kitchen size, to allow kids to have food-tech classes in the canteen, as well as potentially have the kitchen be bookable by the community, thus has a separate entrance/access. FEEDBACK: Consider the placement of the classrooms so that they can have solar access Group classrooms and strategically place them to avoid awkward corridor spaces that don’t have much function Does the gym need to be accessed from the outside of school? 30

Through a quick massing model I was exploring the main points of vertical circulation and the general form. Double height spaces are created in higher floors to interconnect them, where year levels are mixed across floors. FEEDBACK: Consider angling the front office block more for movement and connection Does the teacher’s lounge/office need to be that size? Moving the prep classrooms inwards to allow more outdoor play to the north Allow for access to the outdoor play space from main foyer area Don’t mark site boundary on plan or model

WEEK SIX
44
I wanted to create a school that is like a series of communities within each other inspired by the educational theory of instructional scaffolding. This works on the basis that the child’s area of potential development is wider when supported by a more knowledgeable individual. Each child has a home base from which their community then grows. This could have been better expressed as a diagram. My brief should have also been included, as least as text to show clearly what was being included in the school FEEDBACK: Consider interconnected play across levels - e.g. ladders, climbers Refinement/resolvement of angles & corners Resolve internal space: indoor play, mixed use communal learning space Potentially have arrangement of years vertically, as opposed to cross-diagonal Check stair dimensions Show context in plans: building cut Show people in plan
45
WEEK SEVEN
Explored aspects of play and possible features to have within the space as designed play elements. I wanted the internal space to be flexible enough that when needed it could additionally be used as a learning space. FEEDBACK: Consider having open space that is not filled, allow children the space to run.
46
Explored possible vertical play elements, aiming to create ‘mid’-levels that was for the kids specifically, integrating many elements of climbing. E.g. the space being high enough for a child to stand, but an adult would have to duck slightly.
47
WEEK EIGHT
Focused largely on figuring out the vertical play aspect in 3D space through a 1:100 model. Built a number of elements that were moved around to create different potential arrangements, but wasn’t finding any of them effective. FEEDBACK: Consider instead of having the netting across, having it as a ramp/slope up to create that flow of movement between the floors.
48
49
WEEK EIGHT
I pulled back the scale of the model, to be able to model the entire floor, though modeling the play elements at this scale was particularly challenging. I also experimented with the materials, to see what could work best for the final model.

To think about the structural system, I chose to overlay all my plans in different colours to see if there were large points of intersection that could be a point of support. FEEDBACK: Consider a grander access points for the higher levels as opposed to only the lifts and the stairwell - especially at peak times Trial a grid system to determine the locations of columns.

WEEK NINE
I wanted to think about colour, because I feel that colour is fun and it would bring that sense of joy and fun that a primary school should embody. I wanted the floors to be colour-coded, for easy distinction of the different years and groups. I was also thinking the ramp could be a mixture of netting, steps, and colours glass, which would shine coloured patterns onto the floor below the ramp. This ramp feature defining the area that is ‘kid-only’.
54
For the facade, I wanted to bring a rainbow aspect to it, however I didn’t want it to be overbearing which was challenging. I’m undecided with the direction I want to go, but am leaning towards having coloured floor plates being evident on the exterior, expressing the internal floor finish to the outside.

FEEDBACK: Make sure the different floor plates are easy to read in plan Hide columns in the walls where possible, or move them/walls as to not have awkward gaps between the two that becomes dead space.
57
WEEK TEN
Again testing materials and model-making. I wanted the classrooms to have a clearview through them, from the internal window/door to the external window. Creating a visual connection east-west through the learning levels.
58
59
WEEK ELEVEN
Predominately exploring layout and finish quality. A perspective, section and plan were tested with graphics and colours to determine the style I wanted to aim for. The plans in full colour feel over bearing, and the layout leaves awkward empty space to the right, if I keep the sections aligned along the base of the panel.
60
61
WEEK TWELVE
A revised layout, with the plans in two rows and diagrams to the right. The hero shot test felt overbearing with the style I wanted the plans and sections, with the colours feeling jarring.
62
I explored a few different options in terms of the coloured ‘stripes’. Having the railing as coloured glass, having the railing as a solid feature with no visibility through, and having the columns coloured as well. FEEDBACK: Look into Sauerbruch Hutton for some precedents with colour
63
WEEK THIRTEEN
Claude Bernard Office Building by Sauerbruch Hutton https://www.sauerbruchhutton.de/en/ project/cbp
The Claude Bernard office building by Sauerbruch Hutton influenced the direction I wanted to go with the facade. I found the weaving pattern to be very interesting and creates a sense of connection through the weave.
64
I tested a number of different colour palettes and weaving patterns using elevations of my design. Deciding that the pattern would only be prevalent on the west facade, with the columns coloured in rows. The floor plates of the floors are still coloured according the year levels, however they are grouped in four. E.g. Year 1 & 2 are mixed across Level 3 & 4 and those floors are coded yellow.

THE REFLECTION
There are things I had wanted to do that I didn’t get around to, which is disappointing, however given the circumstances, some of it could not be helped. With the final project, while I think a lot of the base is largely resolved, I think the refinement is still lacking in many areas and I didn’t truly resolve my material finishes to the level I would have liked. These moments have all be learning points as to where I put the most energy. The final model is something I would have liked to have done more for, but due to a lack of care when laser cutting, followed by the lockdown and time, it didn’t quite go as far as I would have liked. I had wanted some surrounding buildings and to add the facade finish to the model. This studio has taught me to design more from the user standpoint, where the user is one with completely different needs than my own. I’ve learnt about structure and how to consider and accommodate those elements. I’ve also learnt a lot about physical modeling, especially to problem solve and to generate ideas, as well as more practically to work more efficiently with hand-modelling. I’ve also learnt more about my preferred graphic style and that it’s still changing. Getting to do something slightly different with style and building type from previous work has been a fun challenge.
