Project 3 - Kiosk @ Boundary + Bicycle Parking and Workshop + Gallery "Tower"

In Project 3 an art gallery is being added to the existing area. Using strictly the area that has been used for Project 2, the art gallery are appointed for display of student artworks including work on canvas or paper, sculpture, and film. The building have to be at least two stories high with minimum 3 meters difference between the viewing area.







 The 'Tower' which was the art gallery is 6 stories tall.




 The First Floor is consist of Bike shop and workshop.



The second floor is mainly used as storage room.




 The Third floor will accommodate the viewing of film made by students. The closed quarter are to guarantee the clarity of the film shown. 



Level four and five is strictly stairs connecting the third and sixth floor. 




Level sixth will accommodate the display for paintings and sculptures made by students. The glass roof are being placed to ensure the maximum sun exposure so the work could be seen in detail. 




Interconnected sky roof to ensure the maximum exposure during the day for bike mechanics and to unifies the design.

Project 2

Elevation

The idea driven this design is elevation so the roof level from each of the three section (kiosk, bicycle parking, bicycle store and workshop) is risen from the entrance of the site ( kiosk) to the end of the area (bike store and workshop). 


For ease of mind regardless the security, the site is using single entry system so every bicycle move to or from the area could be well monitored.


The bike parking space are being built between the kiosk and the workshop to guarantee the convenience of the student and visitor. Furthermore the overlapping roof are being built to help protect the bike against direct sunlight and rain.


The space for bike store have minimal brick wall to maximise the exposure that the store needs so customer could check the content of the store without needing to go inside the store.





Since bike repair need high level of precision, sufficient lighting is important. Consequently the roof of the workshop are being carefully carved out to allow direct sunlight to shine on the bike stand that the mechanic are working to.





For waste management and stock delivery purposes the workshop have an extra door at the back so trading activity could go well without disrupting the visitor from using the front entrance.

Project 1 - Kiosk

 The idea behind the design is to design a kiosk that maintain the 'openness' of the existing area. Based on that principal the design of the kiosk is minimized to only 1 meter higher than the existing top level which is 3 meters. The remaining space is intended for public space.


 The interior of the kiosk is consisting of preparation room for the cafe, storage room for the art supply store and the display for art supply.
 The open space in the top floor is mainly used for cafe customer and for public space.

Mashup of 3 Articles

We have entered an era of ‘modernization’, led by the Western world.  In our times of unprecedented demographic expansion, infrastructural development is racing to meet demand with supply. As architects and designers, we have been pressured to embrace consumerism. Globalization has been adopted as a solution to the problem. The international fascination is inevitable. They are internationally acknowledged. Developing countries have equated economic prosperity and success to the adoption of ‘contemporary architecture’ in a bid to demonstrate leadership and innovation.
Mimicking the formula of technologically advanced countries will project us into the public eye. Modern architecture suffers an “inherent” inability to “handle shocks to the system.” It resists reuse and repurposing. What buildings need is akin to what nature provides: “redundant . . . connectivity, approaches incorporating diversity, work distributed across many scales, and fine-grained adaptivity of design elements.” “When something doesn’t fit anymore, we architects have the ability – and responsibility – to make sure that our cities do not force us to adapt to outdated leftovers from the past, but actually fit to the way we want to live”.
