For the final presentation i used 3d Cad for still and video images. Overall I was happy with the quality of 3d animation that i achieved in such a short time frame with very little knowledge. Context Image
Below are the images of Finchys Physical Model. He stayed up for quite some time to finish this. The final result was a beautiful, well crafted Physical Model...Awesome achievement!!!
Below are two scanned pages of environmental considerations that we as a group have considered in our design process. As we have chosen a climate of Hot Humid (tropical), we think our design must incorporate the following.
Cross Ventilation Shade Passive Solar Gain Passive South Light Gain Low E-Glass Correct Orientation Transportability Water Storage/Capture
In my research i found a few rather interesting images on modular architecture. Although these images provide quite good spatial qualities, I'm still struggling with the concepts of modular/portable, sustainable and mostly a learning environment. My interpretation of a learning environment for our intended audience( primary school) is a rather large space for teaching purposes, private teachers quarters, bag/book storage and a open space for other activities. I'm struggling at this point to get my head around a building that is portable/relocatable and provides a appropriate teaching space. Sure, we could design a box that folds out, slides and is very portable and sustainable, but our group (and I) think that our design MUST provide a learning space....We are still searching for the 'one'....
