EXP_2 36 CUSTOM TEXTURES

Selected Material

Light

Linear elements is often used by Walter Gropius for efficiency and simplicity. This light materiel is used in the underground part to provide more light.

Medium

Simple geometry often rectangular is common in modernist architects' works. With the calculation and arrangement they can become interesting decoration.

Dark

The station is designed with triangular cover, which can be reinforced by this material.

EXP_2 18 SKETCH AXONOMETRICS

Axonometrics

Parallel projections

one rectilinear form interacting with one curvilinear form.

EXP_2 THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS

Herzog and De Meuron and Walter Gropius

Herzog and De Meuron have the "Organic" philosophy, which means building are designed to fit its nature surroundings.

Walter Gropius uses the technology as a basis, transform building into a science of precise mathmatical calculation.

Themes : technology

UNSW is a modern, global University. The station reflects this context with the special structure inspired by the "Organic" philosophy. Considering the large amount of passengers and cars and the width of the street, the design makes cars pass under the station.

This is a conceptual design using technology such as light but strong materiel and precise calculation to support its structure. This design is complicated and can only be built with the help of technology. And it will be a good practice and test of new technology.
