The Story

The two towers and the re-use historical building. 43 Adelaide Street. year 2030.

Residential tower over historical building. Adelaide Street entrance.

Adelaide Street entrance from a pedestrian perspective. Opened up at ground level. Paul Williams enters through here. 

Retail pods. Paul walks by these on his way to the restaurant.

Central service and circulation core. Paul looks up at the sky and observes the two towers separated by the core and thinks to him self "I'm glad they didn't just fill the entire site with building and left voids for light to penetrate to the ground level".

Re-use Component with towers around

The Restaurant - Re-use component external and internal community use.  Paul Williams goes here for lunch.

Mean while.......Residential apartment.  Peter Daniels and his wife enjoying there new home after migrating to urban Brisbane 2030.

Agricultural program. Peter goes to work.

Central core and re-use building with residential tower over. Peter meets Paul here.

Paul and Peter sit down on the urban stage to have a coffee and reflect on the events that lead to where they are now.

Week 11 3D CAD Development

Perspective from South west burnett lane

Axonometric orientated from South East.  Shows the 4 components. Agriculture tower - Green, Core , Residential tower - purple and Re-use historical building - Brown.

Week 11 Agricultural Tower Facades

3d Model of the Agriculture Facade. Exterior

3d Model of the Agriculture Facade. Internal Perspective

Week 11 Retail Pod Inspiration

These images capture the essence of what the retail pods will be like. Users will engage with them to experience products as opposed to purchasing. Retailers would set up installations such as these in the designated spaces of the project. Set in the historical building component. Spaces within Spaces.

Inflatable, translucent, temporary movable.

modular pods

Aim to get people in to experience touch and play with products so they can purchase later on-line  Removes storage space and transportation.

Visually unique set within the historical building 43 re-used commercial building on site.

Week 10 Key Architectural Elements

Key aspects + features of the architectural entity that need to be developed and indicates how they will be communicated:

• Retail Pods and Re-use space - Perspectives, and in large scale section.
• Podium Level - Perpectives
• Agriculture Facade and Internal Space - Section and Perspectives. Exploded Axonometric. 
• Community Pods - Perspective and Section.
• Urban Stage + Cafe space - Perspectives - Floor plan
• Restaurant Re-use space. - Perspectives, section.
• Front facade. - Perspectives.

Week 10 Architecture Fiction Events

Schematic Diagram.  Looks at the key events and locations for the fictional story. 

Event 1 - Peter Daniels  - starts his day in his residential apartment. Capture the typical res apartment characteristics.
Event 2 - Peter Daniels  - Is at work in the agriculture farm. Pick up the spatial qualities and architecture used also the program.
Event 3 - Peter Daniels  - Takes produce to the community pods to connect and share produce with internal community.

Event 4 - Peter Daniels  - Meets Paul Williams and he goes on to describe what he's been up to within the complex.

Event 5 - Paul Williams - Arrives on foot to the Entrance at Adelaide street.
Event 6 - Paul Williams - Walks by the Retail pods. Set in the re-used ground level of historical building.
Event 7 - Paul Williams - Goes to Restaurant - Re-use component. Second level.

Event 8 - Paul Williams - Back with Peter Daniels

Event 9 - Both sitting having coffee at the Burnett Lane entrance. 

Week 9 Exploration of Spatial aspects and Navigation 4

So this considers the internal community interaction space, located near core of building. Its a place for migrated people and other internal residents a place to share, connect, collaborate and conduct passive surveillance.

Agricultural tower. Top diagram explores the considerations made for access natural light into growing plots and the resultant facade system.  The bottom section looks at the spatial volume and how the facade is to operate.

Residential apartments.  Considerations of thermal comfort, structural modulation. Aimed at providing shelter in the CBD they are to be small. For migrated, relocated population.  Rear circulation path connects to core and community pods.

Week 9 - Tower Planning

Typical tower floor plan using superseded core arrangement.

Diagrammatic section picking up the two towers and central core.

Revised typical tower floor plan.  New core arrangement, , divides programs up so circulation doesn't overlap and privacy maintained.  Linear residential apartments to maintain existing structural grid, optimise orientation benefits and allow for efficient cross flow  ventilation in sub-tropical climate. The community space is envisaged will help connect internal community members it also acts as a place residents can access produce from agriculture  Agriculture divided into plant and equipment space and growing decks. Facades to consider water capturing and light penetration capabilities.

Apartments have three different types to accommodate for users needs.  Future context has inspired the small size and minimal basics of shelter to accommodate the forced migration of population. 

Week 9 CAD 3D's

Burnett Lane Mass Model. Agriculture Tower - green, Core - orange, Res Tower - brown

Historical Building at Adelaide Street.

Week 9 Exploration of Spatial aspects and Navigation 3

Circulation Core at Ground Level drawn as section through retail building with elevation of circ core. I overlaid the stair well to give a sense of the spatial qualities within.  Entry points for Residence and Retail. Looks at materials , spatial qualities.

Week 9 - Circulation

Original Circulation option. Tutor advised me that this would result in programs overlapping, raises issues  privacy, security and also issues with traffic loading. 

Circulation Core Example 2.  Note this is not desirable as the only set of stairs is located within the residential and agriculture tower, so external community users would have to enter this space to access. Raises issues of privacy and security.

Circulation Core Example 3. Now all three programs have  specific circulation  space. Critical to separate the  Commercial operation from the towers circulation.

Diagrammatic Section showing the three different circulation  operations. 

Week 9 Exploration of Spatial aspects and Navigation 2

Adelaide Street Entrance. Ground level has been opened up to allow for thoroughfare. Pedestrians can visually and physically connect with retail operations.

Section shows the intimate retail experience pods they site within the spatial volume.  

The pods contain human activity, almost like the pea and the pod.  This can also transfer at a lager scale in that the pods sit in the building. Different scales.  Pods designed for human pedestrian scale.

Perspective capturing usage. How users move through the space. Transforming  existing closed off retail operations. Shows the central pedestrian thoroughfare that connects to the core and then Burnett Lane.
