As part of my refurbishment of the shed, I will also complete an in-depth design of a ferry terminal and public space surrounding the structure.

Addition to previous post. the angles in the floor plan that are opposing those of the shed are inspired by the larger site context; specifically the river. This ensures the maximization (through controlled line of sight) of prime river views from the openings.

Adjusted Proposal



Although my structure has developed further since creating this image, I wanted to record where my development was heading.The plan layout reflects the relationship between the city and the river, represented through the contrasting flow of curves with rigid angles. The vertical angles (see section) created imitate those seen in the Storey Bridge and were used to help create the desired spatial qualities of different rooms, and the journey between them. (example: the short corridor seen the in section is an intimate and 'enclosed' space (with walls sloping in on either side of the passage), which contrasts strongly with the rooms to which this corridor lead. Opening (to the right) into a wide gallery space with semi-open geometry and (to the left), to a mixed use space with controlled views over the river and boardwalk).

The operation of the space/overall layout represents an embodiment of the concept, supporting the required activities (to allow for the cyclic meta-learning system) in an abstraction of the proposed system. 

A wide range of different levels have been used (4 in total) to maximize the quality of each individual space and it's effect on the surrounding spaces.

After having analyzed the requirements of the proposed cyclic art factory system, preliminary floor plans were created. These are showing the main built spaces, and do not show all the smaller spaces created amongst the voids. These will be further evaluated after these plans are evaluated.

This is a condensed concept diagram. It shows the proposed system and a preliminary spatial arrangement.  The cyclic system is culturally self adaptive in nature, ensuring versatility and maximizing the public benefit of the development.

This is a concept render from my revisited design, post project 2. This historical qualities of the site and shed are having a larger influence on the design. The size of the public roof landscape have been greatly reduced for a more realistic and overall effective response. The spatial/experiential qualities and utility of  proposition are being maintained but in a more thought-out and efficient manor.

I have a lot to comment and elaborate on in terms of clarifying my presentation content, so I will progressively do so when I can.

As a general overview, I feel my main flaws were in poor communication.
