Presentation and presentation outcomes

my presentation went well. I will use the medium of video with voice recording again as it helps with my nerves ( however is a little embarrassing listening to yourself)

my feedback from Peter was regarding some of the final touches on the floor plan; in particular the possible addition of a retaining wall and small courtyard in the eastern facade, lower mall level. this would provide more light to the lower level and also gives opportunities to grow some screening for the upper levels.

Overall im happy with both my presentation style and how it went. and on top of this I have learnt some new skills.

in the future this will be a visible community

Up cycling= taking waste and forming it into something of greater use or value; I would also add giving it a value. ( in some instances not necessary to change it in form or function at all just clean and reconfigure or re finish)

interesting look at one upcylers work as well as the environment that he lives in.

the story

Macro- brisbane

how its often known in australia for a lack of culture however an underground culture of artisans etc is emerging

Paddington- how it is the antiques and furniture district 2 km west of the city. one of a few Artisan culture hotspots in brisbane

Micro- the site- has history of upcylcing and being a depot for trams.

my proposal
- plan
- form
- section ( circulation, structure etc)
- elevation (context)
- experience ( renders etc)

voice over so that presentation is seamless storytelling - architectural fiction.

renders and photo montages

The story of moving through the space:

 starting possibly at dropping something off at the recycling depot

 once there the user may source  materials for a new project

 they may go home or to the workshop to work on these projects and interact with other artist apart of the community.

 meanwhile people maybe watching their process in the cafe as they research what the want to buy

here are some of my renders and photo montages.

final section

here is one of my final section. This one shows allot about how the building will function.
to the right you see the lady in the red pants. this is the repeated character im going to use throughout all of my renders.

she is entering from the residents car park to the residents front doors; situated behind the retail.
in the section of the housing/ retail you can see a resident sitting in her loft on the computer as she watches what is going on downstairs in her retail space. the couple in the walkway have just dropped something off for recycling and are now going to look at what they can buy to replace it. The group of people are watching what is going on in the workshop (and eyeing of the set of Eames chairs on the mezzanine level)

it also shows how the building related to the street level at all entrances.
