Site description

Night time At night, the lawn will be lit by street lights on the surrounding roads. However, the light is not sufficient to meet the needs of illuminating the entire lawn.

This design location is located on the Norce Terrons campus of the University of Adelaide in South Australia. Around the two lawns, the east faces the botanical garden, the west is the library, the north is the experimental building, and the south is the engineering building. The total area of these two grasslands is around 2,350 m^2. The main purpose of these two lawns is to provide a resting place for students and a major venue for the event. Therefore, the traffic flow here usually accounts for a large proportion of the main roads on campus.

Day time The daylight is abundant here, and when the light hits the glass of the surrounding building, some light is reflected to the lawn. When the sun turns over time, some parts of the lawn are also obscured by the surrounding buildings, which avoids strong direct sunlight.

Surrounding building

There are three main buildings around the grass.Barr smith library in the west, and two main teaching building in the north and south.

Movement

This image mainly shows the path of this area. A small road in the middle of the two grass areas though to the buildings on both sides. Another way on either side of the grass cross to the campus and the school gates in the east.

Useful

This area of grassland main uses are rest, discuss and organize some activities for people.

Metaphor

Idea 1: Fire

SEEK LIGHT IS EMBRACING NATURE Light is a geometric abstraction, a straight line representing the path and direction of light. It is impossible to get a light in the real world. Light in spoken language can also refer to the light radiated by the light source. There is no color without light, and everything in the world will be dark. For humans, light is indispensable like air, water and food. Nature is a very good for people. Walking in the green and enjoying the sun can helps to boost peopel mood and energy. Naturally, there are many benefits to the human condition, and exposure to nature brings many psychological, cognitive, and physical benefits. Contact with nature can translate into a reduction of negative emotions such as depression, anger, aggression, frustration and hostility. Seeking light to embrace nature, this theme also emphasizes the importance of light to nature. According to this theme, some designs have been made on the grassland of the university.

Fire is one of the most important elements in nature. The visible part of the fire is called a flame. It can be burned with fire and the vibration of the particles, producing different shapes, colors and brightness. The flame also represents strength. According to the shape of different flames, a building about light is designed. The plane of the building is like the shape of fire. The roof can design roofs of different heights and shapes according to the flame.

Idea 2: Twig A twig is a branch that grows from the trunk or branch of a tree; it refers to the branches that grow from the trunk. Not that the resulting twig are straight, and the shape of the branches is strange. The shape of the branches has been used in many buildings. The upright Y-shaped clear water components and the thin concrete roofing panels form a simple and elegant architectural effect. Gaudi used a large number of tree columns in the design of the Sagrada Familia. The pillars are divided into branches and forks to support the high and low vaulted ceilings and hold up the huge space inside the church. The shape of the twig can also be made flat, and other spaces are developed in a main space, like twigs growing on trees.

Idea 3: Particle Particles are the smallest constituents of matter that can exist in a free state. Through the pictures we see on the Internet or in books, its shape is strange and diverse, and its shape is like a small ball. These small balls are closely linked. Putting the shape of the particles in the real world and making some developments can form a very interesting building. Columns of different heights can be put together to form a new space.

3D model & Brief The main form of this architecture comes from the flames in nature. The shape of the flame is very interesting and has different changes. Applying the shape of the flame to the design leaves a natural form. The main clients of this architecture are students and teachers, who are mainly studying, discussing and resting in this area. The entire building area of the building is 350 square meters. The interior of the architecture is mainly composed of a small library, reading area, toilets, seminar room, exhibition, reception and storage. The architectural style is simple, the roof structure is mainly steel frame structure, and the structure of the wall is brick veneer construction. There are some large glass windows on the roof that can be directly exposed to the room when there is plenty of sunshine. This building mainly needs the appearance of light, and onethird of the building is on the ground, which is convenient for sunlight. In addition, this architecture has no stairs, because this building is mainly underground, ramp can reduce the inconvenience of disabled people. Moreover, the interior of the architecture is designed according to the shape of the architecture, which makes the whole building more harmonious.
