SCRIPT: strategically
communicate an architectural proposal through a creative as well as logically
and realistically constructed series of events in the form of a factitious
story:
REALITY: Have relevant contexts you can observe today been studied and
well incorporated into your Architecture Fiction?
My animation will begin with an overview of
the Folk Federations main beliefs and visions, these are mostly factual beliefs
that have been spiced up and I wish to abide by them throughout my story and my
architecture.
The Queensland Folk Federation is a not-for-profit organisation with a
vision of inclusive, creative and inspiring community growth of cultures and
traditions. Over the years the organisation has become a symbol of
environmental stability, de-urbanisation, diversity and human rights.
I propose that:
The
Queensland Folk Federation is aware of earth's ever-growing issues and believes
that sustainability is more than improving the environmental quality of an
area, it’s about community development, decision-making processes, awareness,
involvement and engagement. It’s about reaching a common goal and maintaining a
balance between economic development and environmental protection. The
federation's past history, committed volunteers, sustainable beliefs and future
goals will and has aided in creating a benchmark for communities and cities
elsewhere.
CREATIVITY: Have background contexts extracted from
your team's scenario developed in Project One, have you developed a unique
story.
Project One was focused on the principal
of sharing focusing on resources and de-urbanisation, my proposal shall specify
that:
The Folk Federation organisers have decided it was time to fully
utilise and expand on Woodfordia’s facilities to cater for an array of
festivals and educational programs held throughout the year in addition to the
folk festival. The dream was simple; provide the facilities to promote
sustainable sharing and environmental education.
My architectural proposal will
provide the facilities to create a Learning and Development Retreat to give those who live in built-up cities a chance to
escape. So these individuals can experience, learn, work, celebrate and build
up an appreciation and understanding of the importance of rural living,
community development, resource sharing and environmental protection and
stability.
STAGE: Ability
to design an architectural entity that works and fits in well with your story:
PURPOSE: Has the purpose of your proposed architectural entity been
defined in response to needs and desires of future citizens? Is the design
response appropriate. Why should your proposal be realised? How does it offer
meaningful spaces and services for future citizens if realised? It is
imperative that your proposed architectural entity provides effective solutions
and opportunities for future citizens in your scenario.
In the future, Woodfordia is to
maintain a year round presence. I propose that this is
achieved by offering and developing
teaching programs and sharing implementation strategies that involve patrons to
dedicate themselves to Woodfordia’s new Learning and Development Retreat, to
leave the city behind for a desired period of time. Patrons will learn to live in collaboration with a number of sustainable
economic, social and environmental requirements and services. Individuals will
work on site for their board.
NAVIGATION: Has specific uses and access to the entity
been studied and demonstrated? Is it evident in the design. How do people
arrive at a space? How do they find the space? How do they move between spaces?
Your proposal needs to address issues concerning how your design offers
appropriate and meaningful access to and from your architectural entity and
circulation within and between each space. It is very important that you
constantly evaluate and re-evaluate your access and circulation strategies.
User access will be demonstrated
with a series of animated fly throughs and diagrams within the final animation
explaining where the building is located in terms of its surroundings, the
views and spaces it offers.
INTEGRITY: Is a good level of structural and/or operational integrity and
unity clearly visible in your design proposal? Are appropriate structures,
details, materials and/or technologies used to construct your proposed spaces?
How will it be maintained?
Within my model I've try to
emphasis the timber beams etc. as finished features within the building
interior, I shall also provide a series of sections illustrating how the
building works and how it would be erected.
SCENES: ability
to communicate the value and relevance of your architectural proposal. They can
be best described as specific scenes in your Architecture Fiction:
PRESENCE & IDENTITY: Has the presence and relevance
of the proposed architectural entity and its identity in its location (site)
been considered with strong understanding of what it should provide and be
known for? It is important that the physical and/or psychological presence of
your proposed architecture is appropriate for the area/context and also
signifies the reason and purpose of its existence.
The educational facilities
associated with the Learning and Development Retreat will be located close to
the existing village on the northern end of western hill. From this location
the building will soak up the benefits of a northern orientation, it will be
able to look over the existing village and will be seen from various vantage
points.
The educational facilities was
design to complement the contours on which it sits, the building's main
corridor is one continual ramp as the building fits into and extrudes out of
the ground.
Majority of the model fly-thoughts
will be of human scale, viewed from the user perspective to gain further
'first-person' experience of what my proposal shall offer the site.
