Evaluation sheet

The textures used:

These are the 4 textures applied to the bridge. The last (in blue) was used in a single point (with no repetition) as an ornament to the central gathering space.

Crisis Environment

Progression of the environment:

From the draft version, I strived to break tessellation with some success (part of vegetation and other natural objects show up white).

The environment at its draft stage with folly and elevator.

The final environment. 

Extra images

Since I could not export my bridge into crisis even after braking it down into several components, I am adding extra images. The sketchup model and Cryengine level are  both (separately) available on my Dropbox.

 The middle level has a opened garden and a sheltered area from which stairs go down to the level bellow where the facilities are.

 Pathways go across the bridge to facilitate circulation because of the arched format of the bridge.

The folly with the elevator siting on the bottom of the valley.

The lower level with all facilities axcept for library/gallery the is located on the upper garden level.

 Profile of the arc formatted bridge

The theatre is located in the centre of the bridge, right bellow the library/gallery.

Extra textures

Unsatisfied with the results from the previous 36, I developed 18 new textures from that experience to find the right profile that the concept asks for this project.

Bridge and folly:

 The centre of the bridge is marked by a gathering space in front of the library/gallery.

 The upper levels are used as pathways while working rooms lie within the thin space bellow, providing privacy and a reference for the constructions site of similar narrow quality.

 The bridge spares space as a prospective usage plan of programme flexibility. Moreover its structural shape conveys the local nature driven native culture. 

Note: Because of the adaptability ideals of the project, several rooms are conveniently separated by sliding doors to achieve usage flexibility. Yet, the zoning is rather "rigid" with staff and student rooms on opposite sides of the bridge...

1. Workshop and studio spaces are distinguished by being in the further end of the campus as those tend to be more busy and possibly noisy, hence the gap between the two.
2. Stairway to the upper pathway.
3. Students small (casual) meeting rooms and a larger mains student meeting room.

4. The computing spaces are closer to the bridges nucleus where the library is.
5. Centralised lecture theatre for common use of students, staff and visitors.

6. The staff research space is also strategically placed closer to the library.
7. Staff meeting room - sliding doors give multi-purpose quality to the room,

8. Both staff and general staff office spaces are on the further end of the bridge for privacy sake. Those are divided in slots by panels and also have an adjacent office for a supervisor (i.e. Dean of the school).   

As well as the bridge, the folly is inspired by the idea of flexibility and  an embracing movement towards social development that can be noticed from the concept of the project to the actual design and constructions.
