WEEK 3 - Part 2

Since we were taking the history of the site and its affect on the site with the materials and shapes used, we thought about other historical buildings that have contributed to HSW. One of the main places was the Customs house which can be seen from the site. We decided to implement it into the design therefore added a seat angled to face the user directly at the customs house, making it more obvious we decided that the seat should be rusted, hence the dome on the customs house.

We have removed more columns to give the user room to move around through the columns and to play with light/shadow throughout the day, lights are added on the ground beside a few columns for night use. Varying heights that relate to the buildings with thicker 600 x 600mm and 300 x 300mm seats for comfort and to take in the space around them. The metal, old and new timber textures were added for a more clear approach of the space. We have suggested hardwood - red ironbark as it will be used outdoors as columns and exposed to weathering.

Below is a simple Revit 3D drawing for a better understanding of the different key columns in 3 dimensional view, which I will render in 3Ds Max once everyone in the group is happy with it. I also added a few construction section and details explaining how they will be put together. I have contributed as well in the group's sectional drawing and notes, as well as the floor plan that I have drawn and annotated on AutoCAD which another group member then tadded colours over.
