Experiment 3: Room & Space layout (draft)

The picture on the left is a sectioinal plan of where I want my rooms to be layouted. I want the students and public to view the gallery first showing the works of students. Studio and Library are the heart of the academy.

In my opinion, I would want my students to be in the studio the majority of their school life, because that's where they will form friendship, learn to help each other, constantly in contact with other people and ofcourse doing most of their major assessments. Library will be linked to the workshop, computer lab and studio for easy access.

Take a quote from my tutor, ' Teachers go to staff rooms to get away from their students'. With this in mind I have put the staff rooms for both teachers and academic students on the bottom of the valley.

Sketch up model of section, yellow is the travelling paths.

First rotating rooms idea.

The picture on the right is a more of a fantasy academy, where there is a invisible gravitational rotating beam, that rotates all the rooms. Kind of like when you have dinner at the 'Centre Point'. Some rooms will be rotating around other rooms , for example; the meeting rooms will be rotating around the library that is rotating around the beam. ( A better image will be put up later).

This was inspired from watching an anime movie called 'Summer Wars'
