EXP 3 Week 1

Campus Map 

Faculty of Architecture 

Joining options: 

a) NIDA - crossing over Anzac Parade 

- convenience & safety for students who wish to cross Anzac Parade

- connecting design & performing arts. Students at NIDA would find access to design workshops extremely beneficial when it comes to set/stage design 

b)ROUNDHOUSE- Leisure & Design.  Architecture students need a good break, and connecting the roundhouse to the faculty reinforces the importance of keeping sane and having doses of fun amongst all the hard work

c)FITNESS CENTRE - Exercise reduces stress levels immensely. Connecting the faculty to the sports centre will remind students of the importance of exercising to clear the mind.

The world of the ark is mostly subterranean.This is the perception of “life” which we sense in certain structures and places in the built environment.Geometrical shapes, which include triangular, pentagonal and hexagonal forms, can also be seen in architecture. What emerged was an intricate and tectonic model of subterranean architecture, woven around the narrative and characters of the story.As long as a configuration is wrong, it continues to generate stress.This latter-day tribute is  covered and No amount of superficial “dressing up” will resolve the basic conflict. The design consists of a series of hybrid structural/infrastructural elements in composite panels and only by changing its monolithic geometry inserted into a vast fissure , effectively entombed within the mountain. 

Modified Theory:
Design consists of a series of hybrid structural/infrastructural elements in composite panels. Only by changing a design's monolithic geometry, does it begin to go beyond a structured set of geometric principles and into the 'subterranean'. (The subterranean, thinking conceptually as below and beyond the surface of conventional design).
