EXP3 - Draft Model

Draft Model of the School

 The thin structure of the bridge contradicted with the wide and bulky form of the school. It also seemed to be separated from each other.

Single shade on top of the window limited the movement of the shade and the positioning of the window of the side looked randomly placed.

Interior initially had 3 floors but a forth on is added because of the lack of spacing for all the rooms required.

Two exact same ramps on the bridge seemed redundant.

The complex pattern of the smaller bridge also seemed disconnected with the simple framing of the windows on the main building. 

EXP3 - Moving Element

An elevator connecting all the floors of the school is added for the convenience of the people accessing the building.

Moving shades that can close are useful when the sun is too strong during the day and is causing glare. They are also useful when the lecture hall and the meeting room needs to be dark for presentations.

The heavy use of a common material, concrete, in creating the beautiful curves in the architecture demonstrates the numerous possibilities of classic materials in modern society. This reflects the concept of Burton's perspective of architecture which is "classical and picturesque". 

The addition of the Elevator as well as the stairs on the platform allows for better accessibility which reflects Makeka's ideology of "Everybody has the right to experience good design"

The wide platform accompanied with the curved design of the roof not only shows the practicality of the Light rail stop, but also the unique design. This reinforces Burton's "implication of architecture on the creation of distinct urban environments in which they feature." as well as Makeka wanting to "create a service to the public" through his architecture.
