THEORY | Conventional architectural ideas surrounding structure can be inflected in order to appreciate the segmented, sinuous, fluid characteristics which inform innovative design.
01 | LEVEL ONE ENTRANCE
The large, textured pebbles which form the elevation of the bridge are fluid in the way they map together to form a surface for individuals to walk on. This is an unconventional bridge without structured supports, but rather a network of existing buildings to stretch over.
02 | BACK VIEW OF GALLERY
The gallery area of the bridge is a suspended dome above the other two levels, providing views across the segmented, jagged facade and towards the sky. This dome moves up and down, allowing light through the glass walls of the floors below, and closing it off when necessary.
03 | VIEW OF CENTRAL ATRIUM FROM SECOND FLOOR LIBRARY
There is a sense of fluidity in the centre of the bridge, whereby a central, glass atrium lies. A large tree fills the centre, allowing scattered light to enter the building, as well as providing a view from all angles of the library and communal study areas.
04 | TOP LEVEL VIEW FROM GALLERY
The roof and facade of the bridge is dynamic and evokes a sense of movement above ground. As the bridge progresses, the roof undulates above, allowing light to enter from a variety of different angles.
05 | GROUND LEVEL UNDERNEATH BRIDGE
The underside of the bridge is clad with a 'segmented' and 'sinuous' net which continues through the central atrium, bending the light which passes through it. This area provides walkways and social spaces below the Architecture school.
