1.0 THREE RELATIONSHIPS Point , Line , Plane: On the ground Mass: Below the ground Frame and Infill: Above the ground

1.1 POINT, LINE. PLANE SITS ON THE GROUND FOLDING GEOMETRY TO MAKE A SPACE THAT INTERACTS WITH HUMAN NATURE

 

PRECEDENCE | POINT, LINE, PLANE

Glass Labyrinth

by Robert Morris Combination of materials; stainless steel rods and glass panes which make for a dynamic disposition and reflects light and shadow in erratic angles.

PRECEDENCE | POINT, LINE, PLANE

House for Karl, 2013 Lothar Gรถtz A cluster of long, fine lines gather giving character to the formation of the geometry

PRECEDENCE | POINT, LINE, PLANE Wave field in the University of Michigan, USA A simple plane with natural greens forming a volumed landscape

3D MODEL CONCEPT | POINT, LINE, PLANE MATERIAL USED: CARD, FOAM, CORE A series of planes that are bent at a certain angle to give some volume, erected from the ground plain. The planes are all individual but are coherent as a whole, creating new shapes and view points from within.

MASS SOLID UNDERGROUND HEAVY AND DENSED

PRECEDENCE | MASS Art Science Museum, Singapore The design of the Museum is composed of two principle parts. The base, which is embedded in the earth and surrounded by the Bay’s water and a giant lily pond, and a flower-like structure made of 10 petals, generated by the geometry of spheroids of varying radii that seemingly floats above the landscaped pond base. The petals, or fingers as some refer to them, rise towards the sky with varying heights, each crowned by a skylight which draws in daylight penetrating the base and illuminating the galleries within.

PRECEDENCE | MASS Pyramid of Khafre, Egypt A monumental structure constructed of or faced with stone or brick and having a rectangular base and four sloping triangular (or sometimes trapezoidal) sides meeting at an apex (or truncated to form a platform).

PRECEDENCE | MASS Pixel House, South Korea Pixel House located in South Korea that uses bricks to create the mass. The bricks are laid in a very interesting manner as such is alternately arranged- in and out movements’ to give depth and volume to the structure

1.3 FRAME AND INFILL ABOVE THE GROUND INFILL LIES WITHIN THE FRAMING VOID

PRECEDENCE | FRAME AND INFILL Office Off, Austria The structure is an angular building mass within an external timber frame. The inner shell consists of various intersecting folded planes. The rectangular framing protrudes out from the solid infill, creating a grid like framing around the structure.

PRECEDENCE | FRAME AND INFILL Space Asia Hub, Singapore The internal spaces were cleverly adapted in an open-plan configuration to optimise their function as exhibition spaces. Without sacrificing the character of the conserved architecture, existing party walls were stripped and staircases were introduced to visually open up and enhance the flow of spaces. In the shophouses block, new freespanning roofs were rebuilt in timber to highlight the high-volume, column-free interiors of the original building.

PRECEDENCE | FRAME AND INFILL Black Cube House, Poland I find that this house is a great example of frame and infill. The framing that extrudes from the walls show an open and public space with the landscape, separating it from the private space




2.0 HERRING ISLAND- A PLACE FOR SECRETS

 

2.1 SITE ANALYSIS The site has a very interesting mixture of exposed an isolated areas for visitors. Herring Island sits in the middle of a fairly dense urban area, about 5.3km from the Central Business District. Although close to the city, the site manages to remove users from the busy environment, to a vey isolated and very quiet surrounding. The western region of the island, due to denser tree coverage and topography, feels like the most isolated and removed in terms of sight to the environment outside and sound that surrounds the island. Mounds that surrounds this area are gives a sense of protection and privacy. However, once crossed, feelings and surroundings take a drastic change. On the Northern and Southern side of the island, individuals will be able to have a clear view of what is opposite them and have a full exposure of their environment- free space and big. Noise on the Northern and Southern side of the island can be heard more clearly as well as it is just opposite a freeway where road and human traffic is relatively high. Overall, the site is topographically erratic with small scale hills creating small areas that extrude out of the earth. Despite the size of the island, topographical changes varies throughout the area

2.2 CONCEPTACLE POINT LINE PLANE + MASS + FRAME AND INFILL = CONCEPTACLE

The Secret Garden Pavilion The “secret� garden is revealed more the the user while they are using the pavilion. This garden is an existing overlooked landscape that is perceived using the vistas created from inside the pavilion structure.

Timber Dream Pavilion The repetitive shape of the pavilion gives it volume creating an open space within

M Pavilion, Melbourne Lights and shadows affects the experience of the space. Materials can placed closely to each other such as the 2016 M Pavilion. Lighting and shadow affects vibrancy of a space and is a factor played towards how attracted people will be towards the space.

2.5 FINAL DESIGN MODEL

3.0 REFLECTION

THE THREE TECTONICS STUDIES HELPED HONED MY COORDINATION OF THE COMPOSITION AND THE ARRANGEMENT OF SPACES IN MY PROJECT.. GOING THROUGH THESE EXERCISES, THEY ALLOW ME TO SEE AND VIEW THINGS IN A VERY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER, I HAVE ALSO LEARNT ON HOW TO IMPROVE MY ARCHITECTURAL PRESENTATIONS. FOR INSTANCE, USING LIGHT TO CREATE A SPECIFIC ATMOSPHERE OR DEVELOP DIFFERENT SPATIAL EXPERIENCE TO THE USERS. COMMENTS AND CRITIQUES FROM MY TUTOR AND PEERS WERE VERY CONSTRUCTIVE AND IT HEPLED ME IN IMPROVING MY NEXT DESIGN. IT PROVIDED ME WITH A GOOD CHANCE TO SEE WHAT I AM WEAK IN AND PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE PATH FOR MY WORK TO BE IMPROVED. THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND FREEDOM GIVEN BY MY TUTOR WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR ME TO PRESENT MY IDEAS IN A CLEAR AND ARTISTIC APPROACH. WHAT I FELT WAS MOST CHALLENGING FOR ME WAS THE FINAL PROJECT, SECRETS PAVILION. I HAD SOME CHALLENGES IN THE PROJECT BECAUSE I THE SITE I CHOSEN WAS QUITE OPEN AND OBVIOUS SO I HAD TO CRITICALLY THINK OF IDEAS THAT WOULD MAKE IT A ‘SECRET’ EVEN THOUGH IT IS OUT ON AN OPEN SPACE. MY DEVELOPMENT FOR THE 3 TECTONICS WERE EXTREMELY USEFUL FOR DEVELOPING AN IDEA FOR MY SECRETS PROJECT . DESPITE ALL THE CHALLENGES FACED, I STILL MANAGED TO CONVEY THE IDEA OF SECRETS IN MY FINAL DESIGN
