EXP3 Refining interior space

Orientations of different programs:

One of the simplest way to figure out how much space do I actually need to consume can be represented by volumes of cubes. From above, dark blue = workshop and studios, cyan = lecture hall, red = staff areas, orange = research component and grey and white are circulation paths.

Green = meeting place in this case.

The stacking is purposely built to skew to towards each other.

This method of estimation lead to my draft planning of the use of level and floor plates to create good and effectively sustainable spaces.

My first draft, where there is more big general spaces, sharing a lot of rooms with less effective positioning.

My second darft, actually my final plan is correctly define the space dividers, such less unused space on the structure lead to unsustainable living.

It is also use as a bridge, therefore a focus on it main circulation path ways is most concerned.

Above: two sets of sectional drawings, top is circulation stairs, and bottom is the plan of programs.

After combining, an interesting landscape is formed, where a contrast of the misc and actually fictional entities.

FINALISING INTERIOR:

Most of the refining drafts that I did

Programs in the buildings varies in sizes, where none of them are the same. Some floor plates or walls are taking maximum advantage from the stairs, where it leaves the circulation with a minimum of 3 - 3.5m width. On the other hand, all levels are connected by the main circulation, which means, people don't always have to take internal stairs when walking on the main way.

The changing gradient of colour is applied to notify the difference in levels of high and the different functions for each programs in the building. The brighter the colour is on the up stairs is mostly due to a higher exposure of sunlight, and as brighter colour tend to reflects better. Therefore light grey must be a lot better than the Dark black ones.

Interior view on the long studios, where all of the walls only separates the space by do not provide privacy, This encourage active and group learning within the community.
