Final Lumion Environment

Hero Shot

The final model was designed with the original theory in mind, where form and function seamlessly combined to create a structure that would exhibit both architectural and engineering innovations. The combination of the mechanical design together with the visually elegant flow of the bridge allow the structure to exude a sense of grace while also appearing dynamic.


Further Renders



 The structure connects the square house to the nearby fitness and aquatic centre

 The stairs are the moving element in this structure, it moves from the bridge floor to allow access into the overhead lecture hall, workshops and offices from the bridge. Once dropped to the ground floor the moving element also grants access to pedestrians from the ground into the bridge, hence improving circulation 








The layout of the structure was influenced by Villa Rotunda by Palladio, the floor plan and section were manipulated in some aspects for it to fit into the design of my building

Sketchup Model with Moving Elements

The moving element consists of a staircase (ramp) depicted by the massing model below, the movement was inspired by the article where the Gateshead Millenium Bridge has a mechanism that allows for the transport of individuals and vehicles.

 This philosophy of movement was taken into the design of the ramp that moves from the lower level to upper. When in the lower level the ramp allows pedestrian access from the ground level to the bridge.

When the ramp is elevated to the bridge level it is able to provide access to the lecture hall and rooms located in the upper area of the bridge.

Theory

Theory


Two graceful curves, spanning between islands. Innovative rotational movement. Visually elegant when static in motion. Cutting edge engineering

 Final Theory : The purpose of combining visually elegant forms together with innovative and cutting edge engineering allow spaces to exhibit architectural grace together with functionally dynamic visuals.
