Hey hey all, I know I've been pretty slow to get started on this but I guess I've got to start somewhere...
So after joining a group with Raymond, Joe, Laurenzo & Bill, we started working on coming up with a Masterplan for the Deakin DDI. After sitting down and discussing the project, we were able to produce a list of objectives that we wanted to achieve in our plan. They consisted of:
- The need to not overshadow public spaces
- Creation of secondary streets
- Definition of public & private space
- A 'Central Hub'
- Connection & interaction between schools
- Avoiding building isolation
- Providing distinguished paths between Bus/ Train depot to the school
- Maximising views to the bay
- Emphasis on historical buildings
- Higher density to the southern end of the site
- Gallery space being public space
- Preserving & addition of parklands
So after coming together as a group and creating our goals, we each broke off and individually analysed different aspects of the site. I had a particular interest in green spaces and also traffic movement and the two images below show these features in our proposal.
For our proposal of a masterplan for the new schools, our design is based around the environmentally sustainable school being located in the centre with all the other schools around it, allowing the environmental building to generate the form of all the other buildings. The group tried to address the issues of the site in a 3-dimensional manner also, paying attention to building heights in order to achieve views and other objectives.
After pinning up our plans from Tuesday, our group has been designated the environmental and industrial design schools around the bender.
