STUDIO 03

This studio we were asked to design a Trade Mission of the host city of our choice, to be located in the Adelaide CBD on a site between Waymouth St and Hall Court. The building will contain a variety of programmatic requirements that will include a gallery/exhibition space, reception area, kitchen and dining facilities, offices and on-site accommodation. Employing the formal variation that will be looking at in the preliminary designs, you will allocate space, programme and architectural expression to these sites as a design solution.

We were challenged to bring aspects of our host city and country we have been studying into our design approach: Venice in Italy. This building will not only reflect on the diversity of material production of the house nation, but also its architecture – both historical and current. This building has the challenge of transforming the site it is occupying into a demonstration of rich architectural culture of nation it represents.

The Venice historical pattern creates deeps shadows, bringing the building to life and expressing the historical language of Venice. This idea from Venice was utlised in the design to make the building stand out in a modern city. However, in oder for the building to have a fluidity in the design, glazing, inspired by the adjacent building, was used as main design feature.
