My Ideas/Concepts
My main idea of a building for an architecture faculty building was one that revolved around the idea of puzzles and generally the idea of problem solving and using basic shapes to reflect how each part of the building was its own "piece"
This is a concept sketch of how i'd make a building similar to a puzzle like the wooden one pictured above. the main idea that can be seen more clearly and that i focused on was haveing a centre tower with either notched that could fit rooms and pieces into it or just one that more elegant forms would wrap around.
When my tutor, Rob Asher, suggested to us to use blocks to estimate the space each room would take up I began to place blocks around the previously mentions centre tower decided i realised that the blocks began to look a lot like a jenga tower, so instead of a rigid puzzle I decided to have the more significant rooms or "pieces" at angles as if wedged there by other blocks.
This is Mondrian Painting, after playing with the black plain colour breps come in in grasshopper i found that creating a bright coloured interior reflected this art. More interestingly to me it became another way I drew focus to key buildings.
The main concept and design
Here you can see two buildings are highlighted in the same colour scheme as Mondrian.
(The yellow is the Lecture Hall, slanted appropriately, the blue is the gallery that would overlook the walkway to The Squarehouse, and is designed to draw attention to projects displayed inside it)
This is the rooms that I dedicated to different purposes which should be clear to see on the right layers tab
