ARCH1202 Plans & Concept Model (Ideas)


Concept plans: Program




Concept model - Opaque objects represent solidity, Perspex cube represents transparency, Semi-transparent objects represent a combination of the two.

* Open/closed concept
I am looking very much into solid/massing and transparent structures as the form and structure of my community centre. This idea is derived from wanting the centre to be open to all, welcoming and having a sense of place; an identity where people can gather (transparency).

Yet at the same time, the solid/massing portrays a sense of substance, and presence. It is to be like an anchor where the community can rely upon for health, rejuvenation and encouragement from others in their own community. This would be similar to a resting place, bringing about a sense of comfort and safety.
