The open space of coogee

Elevation

The anynalysis of the site shows that the best view of the building is the east side where it opens to the sea.

Street View

The building uses solid material (concrete covered brick tiles) for the north and south side and glass for the east and west side. By doing so, the east and west side view are emphasissed.

Interior natural lighting (Gym hall)

Similar to Osaka, Sydney has a urban landscape which is sloping towords the ocean. The road is almost like montain streams goes into the sea.

In order to preserve the context within coogee area, the new building should fit into the surround.

The major axis of coogee area

The road take people to different functional buildings within city.

The Coogee Oval could be considered as a node within Coogee Area. This road takes you to other nodes of the city.

Threshold

2008-08-19T01:31:00.000-07:00

Each block of land could be considered as a individual "cell"

Road could be considered to be the transition area

In the design process we could use awning or footpath as the transition area to define threshold

Design Concept

Carlos Slim

Carlos Slim owns the largest telephone company in Mexico and has been regarded as the richest man in the world. He took the money from the society and in return he gives the money to charity to help poor people. In this design the beam represents the society, part of the society has been “token away”.

Zhang Yin

Zhang Yin is the one of the richest women in China. She knows how to handle the relationship with the government and people. She said that it is the Chinese people who gave her opportunity to become rich. The beam here also represents the society. However, different from Carlos Slim, her offices are hanging on the beam. The office is arranged in ascending order which indicates how she started her international companies from almost nothing.

Dinning Area

Meeting space involves the concept of “interactive architecture”. When there is no one in the dinning space the area remains dark. When one of the clients come into the dinning space the window and light inside will be opened automatically. The table which is hidden in the ceiling will come out.

Table design and animation

In this design different size of cubes are jioned together to form the surface of the table. The table is then supported by randomly arranged sticks. It indicates that in order to gain power, one have to gain support from different people and use these supports to form a strongger power.

Ratan Tata

"Tata Steel, Asia's first integrated Steel Plant, which was registered on August 26, 1907, turned a 100 years old on August 26, 2007. The day was marked with celebrations by the employees of the Company and the citizens of Jamshedpur, the city named after its Founder - J N Tata.

Following the Company's founding philosophy of serving the community that it operates in, Mr. B Muthuraman, Managing Director announced two major social initiatives on the occasion of the Centenary Celebrations. The first project is the Land and Water Management Programme in association with Sir Ratan Tata Trust in the three states of Orissa, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh targeting more that 400 villages. The Company already runs upliftment and welfare programmes in 700 villages in Jharkhand and Orissa. The second major initiative is in the field of education where Tata Steel will open schools for the children of tribal communities and scheduled caste families to provide education and train them to become self reliant. "

Tata Steel renews societal commitment in 100th year

Zhang Yin

"Zhang Yin, who became a household name Wednesday morning for topping a recent list of China's richest people, is a billion yuan wealthier by the afternoon.
Reports of her massive wealth were printed in morning newspapers yesterday and before markets closed that afternoon, share prices of Zhang's Guangdong-based Nine Dragons Paper Industries Co., Ltd. jumped 2.77 percent, adding an extra 1.1 billion yuan (139 million U.S. dollars) to her assets.

Zhang, the 49-year-old founder and chairwoman of the paper company, was reported to be the mainland's richest person with a fortune of 27 billion yuan (3.4 billion U.S. dollars). "

Richest woman becomes richer

Carlos Slim

"Just call him Midas. Latin America's richest man upped his wealth this year by an incredible $10 billion, thanks to a growing and diverse empire that includes holdings in retail, banking and insurance, and auto parts manufacturing. Shares of his flagship wireless telecom outfit, América Movil, soared 76% during the year. And his fixed-line operator, Telefonos de Mexico, or Telmex, is reportedly gearing up to double its customer base this year, primarily in Mexico, by signing up 600,000 broadband Internet subscribers. As one of its largest shareholders, Slim was purportedly contemplating taking MCI private—until Verizon bid to acquire the beaten-down phone company in February. Said to have one of Latin America's largest collections of Rodin sculptures; is also the founder of Foundation of the Historic Center of Mexico City, dedicated to restoring colonial buildings in Mexico City's historic city center.

QUOTES AND CONCEPT

2007-09-09T06:48:00.001-07:00

Quotation

“The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason.”

Charles Darwin

“To understand God's thoughts we must study statistics, for these are the measure of His purpose”

Florence Nightingale

Electroliquid Aggregation

"God gave us the ability of independent reasoning, so that we could have a unique way of understanding His purpose."

Concept Brief

Charles Darwin

From client’s idea about instinct and independency of reasoning, the space is constructed like being handed on the edge and the working space in the middle is elevated and “detached” with its path way. Although the meeting place seems to be “right there”; however; in order to get to the meeting place Charles Darwin have to walk around his office and find the way out.

Meeting Place

The design concept comes from Florence Nightingale is “Understanding the measurement”. In order to get to the office, the client has to walk through the tunnel under the office. The contrast of the narrow space and gigantic form gives viewer a strong impact of measurement.

Florence Nightingale

The Ramp which is also the meeting place is constructed according to the electroliquid aggregation. The window here is inspired by the church window design. The separated space here is the independent space for them to communicate.

Model:

The lower ground ("connection") is linked and hold by the building on upper level ("Irrational")

Irrational:

The studio above ground is only supported by the one column.

For the upper level, you will need to walk around the cloumn and then enter from the back door in order to get into studio.

Connection:

Lower ground is hold by the building on the upper level. Different coulors of light will be hanging above the circles, so that light will be reflected by the circle onto the celling)

Something Beautiful

I would call this unique rather than beautiful.
