EXP2, Week 3 Task, Final light rail stop & Textures

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.

A note on theme.
The theme I had in mind designing this was that of the multicultural UNSW. While many would think of the universities international cultural diversity, I considered how it is also a collection of different Australian subcultures. Common academic interests bring rural and urban Australians together, hence I have attempted to incorporate elements of rural style into this urban setting, for example through the corrugated iron roofing.

Best piece of creative work. From PlanetMinecraft.com: ( http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/zeriathos-sky-port-head-into-the-clouds-entry/ ) I think it would be a stretch to try and claim that my chosen art form over the last couple years is by any means conventional. Minecraft is, after all, a game. However, it has also been both my primary source and outlet for creative inspiration in a context where I was not otherwise exposed to art and design regularly. The image above is from a large project (or "build") I did a couple years ago for an online Minecraft design competition; among two hundred or so people the entry came in tenth. A great piece of architecture. From TitanDoors.com.au; ( http://www.titandoors.com.au/project/sydney-opera-house/index.html ) It may come across as lazy to pick something so close to home, but when someone says "great architecture," the Sydney Opera House is definitely one of the first buildings come to mind.
