"THE BRIDGE"
UNSW LOWER CAMPUS REDEVELOPMENT
5 Significant Images:
NORTH FACADE - The architecture itself is influenced directly by a set of existing conditions. The floor plates cantilever out over one another on the North side to optimise sun-shading. Vast amounts of glass on the North-facing facade allows for sun access in Winter with relatively good thermal comfort in Summer.
SOUTH FACADE - The form takes on the shape of an "Architectural Mountain". A series of tiered spaces operate both vertically and horizontally in order to promote chance interaction and collaboration between students. Like a mountain, it naturally acts as wind block, reduces noise within the rest of the campus, and allows rainwater to filter down into the "green spaces" without the need for irrigation.
Rooftops become dense urban gardens and walkways which provide a constant connection to the environment. Outdoor community gatherings are made possible and seating provides a place for students to study or relax.
The "walk-through' exhibition space on the ground floor provides an opportunity for public interaction with showcased student work. The form is designed to seamlessly integrate human flows, whilst still retaining access to the existing UNSW Roundhouse.
THE BRIDGE - The new redevelopment of the UNSW Lower Campus brings with it an opportunity to bring together art, performance and design by bridging NIDA and UNSW. The new Architecture School's mixed-use and adaptable spaces maximise collaborative learning and cultural diversity between two close neighbours. The Bridge's minimal design is designed so that it doesn't detract from the building itself, whilst still staying true to the curvy nature of the architecture.
