Here is my final presentation for the semester.

Here is a good shot of the building at a good resolution.

Here are some perspectives of my final design.

Here is a layout for the gym and music rooms for the proposed senior campus.

Here is a detailed section through my class building, along with a detailed wall section.

Here is the plan of my class room and a long section through the building.

Got to love that detail!!!

Mod 5 Construction

After todays lecture I thought I'd play around with a movie making program and I came up with this short simulation of how the central module of our portable would be prefabricated.

Visualisation

Here are some renders of the central module of the classroom. The water tanks are 2400x1800x365 and were sourced from www.waterwall.com.au

Group Concept

Discussing the design as a group, we came up with the concept that we could use five modules to construct a new mod five classroom, which would have a 'butterfly' type roof, which would drain water into two central water storage walls. This water can then be used as a means of heating through out the classroom, by means of a hydronic system. The roof will also be lifted off the ceiling, so that in summer there is less heat gain through the roof, and ventialtion will be porvided in the air space, which is created, to remove the hot air which may accumulate there.

Initial Ideas

Here was an intial idea i thought of in relation to the 'adapability' aspect of RARE architecture. I was thinking that perhaps, as the current mod 5 doesn't really take orientation into consideration, as it can be positioned in a variety of ways, maybe if the shading of the windows was adaptable, it could compensate for this.

Here are a couple of different ideas about portable architecture/portable living

RAre architecture

When talking about designing architecture which is relocatable and adaptable, this video demonstrates some lateral thinking!

Esquisse 1: A RARE Concept

Well this is the result our first studio class, which was a thinking
activity based on adaptability as a concept of RARE architecture.


The result which our group came to was this box-like space which
was compactable based on the geometry of the triangle.


The group was happy with the outcome as the result had some
advantages which could prove helpful in the "real world"
and in our up comming projects for this design studio.


The main advantages which can be gained from the collapsable nature of the space are the abililty for the space to easily become
compact for relocation and the possibilites in relation to
transporting a few of these spaces at once, as perhaps they could
be stacked on top of one another.
