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”

FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION

The Closet house 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.
