MOVING ELEMENTS
Flexible Lecture Shading:
The flexible shading system makes the outdoor lecture theatres more feasible and practical as the timber slats move in accordance with the sun path, offering adequate shading all throughout the day.
Openable Roof:
Having an openable roof creates a flexible function space, providing an impressive open air rooftop space with expansive views of the city, or an all weather, enclosed function space depending on the needs of the faculty.
DEVELOPED LUMION ENVIRONMENT
The architectural concept addressed in this design seeks to create a harmonious relationship between inside and out and up and down. This has been achieved through the creation of many open plan, alfresco spaces that completely open to the outside and through the horizontal and vertical stacking that is seen in the layout and plan of The Bridge.

The School connects to 3 different buildings on the UNSW campus: the Squarehouse, the Roundhouse and NIDA. This is to enable maximum efficiency for architecture students when navigating the wider University campus as the school can be assessed from a variety of places.
Computer labs
Student hangout space
Staff offices
A large number of offices, research spaces and staff meeting rooms have been created in order to best accomodate the teaching staff of the Faculty of the Built Environment.

Outdoor lecture theatre
Outdoor lecture theatres are a fun and innovative new approach to the rational lecture hall. Being outside, they will have the associated positive impacts on student's overall wellbeing and state of mind.

Table tennis tables
A number of mixed use public spaces have been created in which Architecture students can relax and have a break from study, including the table tennis tables pictured above.
Main walkway
Green path ways thread through and connect all of the buildings, further establishing this interface with nature while creating an effective, functional space.

MARK SHEET
Feedback:
The key things identified by this feedback process was that there was room for me to be more expressive in my architecture and that the idea of voids with interwoven green was quite effective. It was also suggested that I develop my green spaces further and make them places to be, rather than simply pass through.
