EXP 3: Plan/ Section
I have chosen to use the plan from Zaha Hadid's 'Vitra Fire Station.'
I have cut a lot of pieces from the plan to make a section of my school.
Below is of the original plan.
(I rotated it horizontally)
The red lines show where I initially cut the plan.
I cut and rearranged the plan to make a section that allowed me to evenly distribute the programs of the school. Now this is the modified and annotated plan showing where each room is. (This is a draft, so location of certain areas may be moved).
This was the original section I had at first but I felt it was too small after working out the sizes, so I created a new section, building on top of this existing section.

EXP 2: The Space Between- Compliation (Final)
I have compiled my final submission into this one post to make it easier for marking and viewing.
1. The Two Concepts
2. 18 Sketch Axonometric Drawings
(Both of these links together make 18 sketch axonometric drawings in total)
3. 36 Custom Textures
4. The Landform
5. The Image Captures and Architecture

EXP 2: Real Time Images (x5)
Dorte Mandrup-Poulsen's monument: This show reveals the size of the monument relative to its landscape. The monument emphasises the concept of "uniformity of simple spaces", as it allows for freedom of movement and large open spaces for individuals to interact with.
Karen Clemmensen's monument: This image reveals the continuous form of the monument which clearly reflects the concept. It shows the simple structure of the tunnels overhanging the waters creating a sense of freedom and peacefulness.
The image above shows an aerial view of the two monuments and the meeting point. It shows how the two monuments connects and interact. This image also reflects the scale of the monuments to the land and how it merges together with the landscape. The meeting point signifies a distinctive area for students/ individuals to come together bringing both monuments to the centre.
The night images are to emphasise the textures applied onto the monuments and how they create a different look onto the monuments. The lights were placed in areas of the monument to emphasise certain aspects and spaces.

EXP 2: Progress Sketch up Models
Dorte Mandrup- Poulsen's Monument
"Uniformity of simple spaces"
On the left is the Sketch up model of the axonometric drawing on the right. I rotated that axonometric drawing so it was sitting upright. I felt this position represented the concept of 'uniformity of simple spaces' appropriately and that it looked more "monumental" that the original angle/ position it was drawn in.
I also added detail (stairs, platforms, tunnels) to the monument to show the circulation and access paths. After speaking to the lecturer, Russell, he said that our final monument did not have to be an exact copy of our axonometric drawing and that we can modify our drawings to best convey and show the concepts of the architects. Dorte Mandrup- Poulsen's monument has the same shape and structure as the axonometric drawing but I added extra elements in order to enhance and convey the concept as best as possible.
Karen Clemmensen's Monument
"Continuous form"
The Sketch up model is rotated version of the axonometric drawing. I felt this angle/ position showed the concept of 'continuous form' as the two main tunnels in Clemmensen's monument give a sense of continuation when placed in the landscape. The subject interacting with this monument is able to look at from these tunnels and see the continuing landscape, therefore further emphasising the concept of the 'continuous form'.
