PART MODEL 1

SCALE 1:50

BIG MODEL is an event which requires us to improve our current design through model making. During this process, different spatial quality of our design is being examined from the users point of view. 

A cross section of the design was selected to explore the spatial quality of different levels as well as considering the materiality aspects of the design.  

Individual spaces

Material transition from park to proposed building

Street 

furniture

Incorporate nature into the pathway

GROUND FLOOR: Walkway

ACTIVITIES:

Everyone and Anyone

Cycling, passing by, slow walking, exercising etc.

Key Points

- The space should be versatile as it can be     use by anyone 

- A transitional space, not for spending long

  time 

- Privacy issue with the bath house? Do bath

   house users want to be seen?

Potentials

- Relates the form back to concept to make 

   the overall design more coherent 

- Include street furnitures into the space,   

  could be part of the structure

- Transition from the urban park to building

Key Points

- Applying the concept, the form of the     

   ground floor structure is being explored

   and used to cater to the community     

   activities

- Skylights create shadows - invisible

   boundary for social activities

Potentials

- Materials for the street furniture and   

   structure should be the same, to create a

   coherent and seamless sight

- Features to consider: bicycle stands,

   benches, tables-chairs, swings? 

Openings for trees to grow

Integrate street furniture into structure

Apply concept 

to form

Can be used 

as bicycle 

stand
