Design Constraints:
- Don’t mess with other buildings
- Don’t mess with trees
- Don’t clutter up the walkways with supports
- Don’t scare people with heights(- it is inappropriate/in-decorous to have a glass floor for a lecture theatre too distracting)
- Don’t compromise the functionality of the space- skimp out on lecture theatres and workshops
- Don’t connect redundantly to buildings
- Don't Just make a clip-on building
A Bridge-based design approach has been designated for the undertaking of a new school of architecture, thus one must outline and respond
to the sensitive limitations which arise from such a unique design brief.
The foremost issue that arises is the sensitivity of the
natural and built environment to demolition due to their practical and historic
value. All surrounding buildings are spaces in their own right and so must be
respected within planning, connecting to spaces is important but one must
ensure not to diminish the value of other buildings and spaces through the
construction of this new school. Similarly, natural elements must be preserved,
not just due to their heritage listing but because of their important role
within people’s lives and livelihoods, making it essential to incorporate them
within the design. Below pictures of the site demonstrate the extensive cover of trees.
