Experiment 2: The Space Between

FINAL SUBMISSION

Experiment 2 : The Space Between

Architectural Issue: A Light Rail Stop

Site: ANZAC Parade at UNSW Australia

Clients: Peter Eisenman and Aldo Van Eyck

18 Axonometric

• 5 prisms used to make a amalgamation. The Architect and the concept used to built the amalgamation is written under the amalgamation.  

• Interconnection between two pairs of drawing. 

• 
  

Chosen amalgamations:

Concept 1

Opposition of Heavy and Light

This concept was inspired by the architect, Aldo Van Eyck. In the buildings he designed we can see a balance between the use of heavy and light objects and their intersection.Even though objects kept aside look pretty plain, but when combined, a new space is created. That Concept is been used in my design

Concept 2

Order and Disorder

This concept was inspired by Peter Eisenman. The making and breaking of grids can be seen in his designs. His design seen in Bird's Eye View can be seen as a simple grid; but is curvilinear when seen in elevation. This shows that when given Depth to grids, different spaces are created. Disorder within Order is noticed. This concept is been adopted in my design.

Theme

Creating Compact But Functional Spaces

The population of the earth is increasing by per minute. The work of an architect is to make use of a space in the most efficient manner in an inexpensive way. Combining the Two Concepts, we get a building which is functional for a rail stop. The Heavy and light objects make the main building plus gives a sense of direction. The second concept is order and disorder; the object in this concept is used as a shelter for the rail stop. It gives order to all the parts of the building.The use of repetition and skinning of an object is also seen.The Light Rail stop designed in a compact manner.

Electroliquid Aggregation 

“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”

36 Textures: From Dark to Light

Chosen Textures:

Dark Texture

 This texture gives a wooden apeal.
It is used on the stairs.

Medium Texture                          The texture is used as a tile on the floor of the rail stop

Light Texture                            This texture is used on the walls.It gives a very compact rock feel.

Pictures

The Rail stop is Compact but allows all the other activities around it happen without any disruption.The functionality of the stop doesn't cause harm to its external environment. 

In this image we can see that the light Objects, give a sense of space and direction. It tells us from what direction the light rail will come/go.

It is accessible. As its situated where the two roads divide, its easy for people on both sides to access the light rail stop. It doesn't disrupt the traffic.
