MOBILE DESIGN



the other side of distribution is the mobile initiative to connect all of Australia.

the transformer like trailer is adapt to all situations where it integrate solar energy + the ordinary trailer sizes.

process behind the building is the same as the fixed pavilion - where the spaces and interaction are all similar.



the use of the design will encourage rural areas to provide feedback and recieve information on other concerns for those areas. the building is constructed and deconstructed from a standard semi-trailer. the dimensions are 12m x 2.5m x 4m.


the spaces are all consectuive to the fixed building to achieve the same affects for the rural areas as the higher populated cities.

BIPV

sustainability is the next level of building development - there has been development in integrating sustainable energy into the buildings roofing systems | flooring systems + wall coverings.

kinetic energy + solar energy

starting off the kinetic energy mentioned prior through the powerLEAP foot power system can produce power through the amount of people pounding the pavement through the town halls and surrounding environments .


the following BIPV is solar panels used in the tiling roofing system - the technology integrates the mono-crystaline solar cell with encapsulants, with a 3mm cermaic tile on the underside and 3.2mm solar tempered glass on  the top. the system functions life any tiling roof while providing aesthetic and sustainable build-ability.

BUILDING ANALYSIS


the building confronts two important + difficult architectural questions.

FIRST (1) the problem of representation [image | type] for a political building;
SECOND (2) the problem of civic presence for public buildings.

these building scattered precisely through the Australian capitals and rural towns | cities will encapsulate the development and progress of the nation from the perspective of you and I.




 as an architect - peter mould -
"it is a humanistic architecture with spaces considered as places to be..."

ENVIRONMENTS

architects create environments all the time - to develop emotions and activate areas. the integration of interactions are what make a place - 'the place to be'


  • community centre
  • offices
  • town square
  • interactive 
  • technology 
  • activated public space | existing buildings

LOCATIONS

getting relationships to work is the general problem when bring the Australia people together. so these buildings are about a global connectivity of diverse people.

therefore a good location is crucial for the success of these mini parliament houses.

fixed - all capital areas of state, the main data collection hub. this building will be larger than the others to compensate for the larger populations.



semi fixed - larger cities in the state eg - qld has rockhampton - townsville. smaller than the other buildings but large enough to cope with the population.

mobile - the idea behind these mini buildings is to connect the rural areas that are out of touch.

ABORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE

australia's indigenous have only been recently identified and appreciated. the have claimed their rights and the original land owners. australia was originally cultivated by these people of the land.


utilizing what the land had to offer they built structures | shelter for their families and communities. the idea behind this is that the use of the architecture brought the natives together and creating a community. identifying their materials and techniques it has been integrated into art installations in tribute to them. 


though their architecture has never made much of an appearance into the modern world of building | structure design. 


GRIFFIN LEGACY - CONCEPTUAL TRIANGLE

the conceptual triangle engages three sides and three points of connection. in the following cases the three points are:

parliament house | city | parks [green areas]

the connection between these two particular designs endulge both cities and they are the mostly known cities world wide - canberra from the politics and melbourne for the city scene and lifestyle.


incorporating these two cities together - the idea of political meets the life style is where the public need to connect and educate themselves with the help of these semi - fixed pavilions throughout the capital cities of australia and mobile entities throughout rural australia. 

FLOATING LEVELS

Sendai Mediatheque / Toyo Ito

the building displayed has enveloped natural light via the large atriums perturbing through the building. the openness displayed the library for every inch of what it is worth.


the use of steel applies a softer connection through the many floors. unique and innovative connection of public space. 



the place is not only flexible but also allows the influx of many people and can handle the load with the intimate ares provided - the connection from my political design to this library is the public era and how the use of dedicated open space can achieve success.

BALL BEARING MAZES

the ball | people through this sort of design emits boredom | disorientation | bewilderment.


what is needed is transparent legibility - the idea is to flush copious amounts of people in short bursts through the building. the idea is that they are their for a purpose but leave after the endurance of many. 

TEXTURE FOR INTERACTION

the development ideas for the strong metal, witht he rustic colour to represent the age and hardness of the australian people - direct connection to the outback.


the cut outs are to emphise the interaction for the visually impared and minors that would be with parents in the voting areas or with the local MP.

Le Corbusier’s POLITICS



 Le Corbusier’s politics are a divisive issue for architects and rightly so: his work is still highly influential, in both adoration and enmity, and his expressed political views are at odds with contemporary western democratic values.


"Here is the great problem facing the French government. We are in the hands of a conqueror whose attitude could be devastating. If he is sincere in his promises, Hilter could crown his life by an overwhelming creation: the accommodation of Europe. This is a stake that may tempt him, rather than a preference for a fruitless vengeance… Personally I believe the outcome could be favorable. France, barring a criminal transplantation or a German invasion, is a mouthful not to be chewed, and if the problem consists of assigning each nation its role, getting rid of the banks, solving real—realistic—tasks, the prognosis is good. It would mean the end of speeches from the tribunal, the endless meetings of committees, of parliamentary eloquence and sterility. Such a revolution will be made in the direction of order and not without consideration of human conditions”
- (Weber, Nicholas F. Le Corbusier: A Life. New York: Knopf, 2008. 487).

FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION

The rises from the need to transform 44m2 in a house thoroughly useful and livable. Has five spaces, two of them completely flexible and transformable by result of a displacement of a cabinet/wall, in wood with natural finish, that grants spaces from the living and room areas different sizes and uses.Likewise, all the associated automation technology makes possible that joint space, framed in various activities and daily routines. On one hand, the cabinet/wall serves as bedroom wardrobe, on the other side rises an extendable dining table, a mini bar and an integrated home cinema.




B I G PAVILION

“Sustainability is often misunderstood as the neo-protestant notion “that it has to hurt in order to do good”. “You’re not supposed to take long warm showers – because wasting all that water is not good for the environment” or “you’re not supposed to fly on holidays – because airtraffic is bad for the environment”. Gradually we all get the feeling that sustainable life simply is less fun than normal life. If sustainable designs are to become competitive it can not be for purely moral or political reasons – they have to be more attractive and desirable than the non-sustainable alternative. With the Danish Pavilion we have attempted to consolidate a handful of real experiences of how a sustainable city – such as Copenhagen – can in fact increase the quality of life”,

PANORAMIC BUILDING DESIGN


the panoramic design is to group all the features of the building (rooms in particular) and spread them across the facade. the ideology behind it is to capture the entire essence of the building while creating an enduring feature. pursuing this idea would be prominant to the end result, including the slim design of the building would encourage sustainable cross ventilation and natural daylighting.  

24 DIFFERENT ROOMS

this sort of intergration of many rooms will help define the necessary spaces required for all australians looking to interact with the building and its purposes.
