36 textures (light to dark): Final light rail stop: Structure on left is at it's most fundamental only a series of hollowed out cubes of decreasing size, relating to the Gropius concept of structuring around basic geometry.  Every element of the design serves a purpose, I attempted to minimise extraneous details considering the "form follows funtion" idea. Geometric consistency coupled with civilised experimentation are two concepts from Herzog and De Meuron that were kept in mind for the suspended section of the design; a rectilinear unit supported by curvilinear shapes.

While many would think of the universities international cultural diversity, I considered how it is also a collection of different Australian subcultures. ...

Clients: - Herzog and De Meuron - Walter Gropius Concepts drawn from these architects work: Gropius: Form following function; the design does not extend beyond supporting the functionality. Design is structured around specific simple geometry, often conventional prisms. Bauhaus design tends towards minimalism in every aspect and the strict exclusion of decoration. An air of mathematical organisation to them. Avoidance of the obstruction of his facades, favouring a blank, open surface. Herzog and De Meuron: Experimental but not extreme. Emphasis on material influences on the building envelope. Patterns and geometric consistency is a recurring theme. Often use edges creating an angular feel. Still follows functionality in form, but more complex than bauhaus. Axonometrics: Lumion images:
