Sketchup 3D modelling

During the first year of study, different softwares been introduced and became parts of the subject.

UNCOMMON GROUNDA New Cultural CentreH e r r i n g I s l a n d s

Based on the sentence above, UNCOMMON GROUND is design that consists of separat-ed individual buildings that have various relations to the ground. Design separated individual buildings for each spaces with their own experiences and characteristics. It is also designed to be easy accessible from other directions.

A: The Aborigin Discovery CentreIt is designed based on the idea of nomad living and searching for better environment as well as their adaptability to diferent environments.

B: The Colonist Discovery Centre It is designed based on the idea of search-ing for resources and stay at one place.

C: The Reconciliation GardenThe garden is to acknowledge the bitter his-tories and bring the message of unity. Thus, it is designed to improve the social inter-action and reflection of the past, present and future.

D: Theatre spaceIt is designed by using light to enhance the building itself.

‘We cultivated our land, but in different way from

the white man. We live with the land and they seemed to live

off it.’

Different types of materi-als have been installed in this design. However, concrete and timber are the most com-mon materials in this design.

In both gallery spaces, timber in-terior and concrete exterior was installed. The reason of why the timber was used as it carries the nature characteristic the most and the long horizontal shape inspired by the idea of finding memory.

As for the theatre, the interi-or material is the concrete with timber texture while the exte-rior was covered with reflec-tive metal that enable to re-flect the surroundings changing seasons. Besides, the angle of the theater enable the reflec-tive metal to reflect the other buildings as well which provide the feeling of connectedness.

As for the garden, it is made up of different degrees of concrete stairs with grass cover on top. Same thing for the roof of the office as well where people can go up the stairs and rest on top of the roof covered with grass.

For the bridge that connect the Ab-origin Gallery and the roof of the office, glass is used at two sides.

BRIEFThe following brief for the University of Melbourne Archives, compiled with the as-sistance of Dr. Katrina Dean, the Univer-sity Archivist, and the staff of the Uni-versity Archives, is a minimum guide only. By all means add to it if you consider something is “missing” or is too small.The building will require specialized ser-vices, such as air conditioning, humidity control, fire protection, etc. Allow ample space for such services within ducts running throughout the building, in false ceilings, etc. Note that circulation space, including fire escape stairs, and the number and size of public toilets have not been specified.

An archive is an intriguing hybrid of li-brary, a museum and a warehouse. The ob-jects housed in archives sometimes have unique associations, such as the typewriter owned by a famous author. While the works on paper housed in archives are usual-ly unique, ie. drawings, diaries, letters, manuscripts, original photographs etc.

An archive is made up of accumula-tive fragments, which combined bypieces of pieces of the history’s evidence. All these individual boxes gathered at onesingle place and form the history of the past.

“Collecting is inherently acult of frag-ments, a sticking together of material bits”

“Collecting is inherently acult of frag-ments, a sticking together of material bits”

Looking at these different pieces, theyremind me of the images in the site analysis. In context itself, this idea of fragmentationcould be seen everywhere in different scale like the building, wall and even the road.

View of archive at night

Red,Blue, Yellow- these three primary colours used for the stained glass fa-cade of the design. These three pri-mary colours symbolised the untouched colours. By adding and mixing colours, different result could be noticed.Then, with the ideas of since graffiti oftenly illegal and usually been car-ried out during night time and thus, those other colours would only came out at night symbolsie the graffiti. There-fore, red, blue and yellow colours would be the main colours during the day, while at night, due to the different light bulb at the back of the stained glass, the colours resulted would be different according to different colours of light bulb used behind the stained glass.

Construction

For the project as shown above, the building constrcution was stud-ied from the footing system of the building to the finishes of the building surfaces.

Case Study House: Six Degree Heller Street

As shown in images below and next page, in this project, how the de-sign affect the construction system and materials and vice versa been studied and been built by use of 3D modelling software as well as hand model making. Part of the building been selected to be studied in depth.
