The building is capable of holding over 100 students due to its large space and high rise development. The layers within this building connects the two existing buildings and provides a pathway to cross the highway, and in doing so validates the idea that "no matter how heavy architecture is, it still can be floating on air." 





 The construction of this structure openly uses existing resources and energy through specific design elements. The main features which dominate this building, shutter roofs, long glass windows, ease of transport ultimately uphold a layered high rise structure with symmetrical shapes and thus creating easy access to various areas of the building, and the university.


Applied textures to final model

Linear texture applied to the shutters on the roofs:



Bizarre texture added to the interior floor of the office for academic staff:



Speed texture added to the ground floor main area of the building/bridge:



 Stretch texture added to the floor of the research space for academic staff:






Two Moving elements

First moving element: Angled roof shutters

Due to the need of organic and sustainable architecture, the shutters I have created aim to use natural and environmentally friendly lighting as opposed to natural lighting throughout the day. The shutters open and close in accordance to the whether.





 

"Light is a powerful substance", and as such this design element and moving feature captures solar energy, in turn heating up the building and providing a comfortable environment for people to work. Additionally, the angle can be adjusted various measures to move with or against the angle of the sun at different times of the day.




Second moving element: Lift from ground floor extending to top level

Usability and ease of access is a major element of transport now days. The increase in high rise building and stacking of structures results in a clear need of transport between these 'layers' of buildings. An obvious lift is implemented into my structure to allow individuals to easily access various levels including the ground floor, research space, cafe and 'relaxation/study area' and also the office space for academic staff.
