T4 POSTERS

SIGNING OUT

This is a final post to thank our team for a great effort. I enjoyed the process and have certainly have gained many skills from the project (both communicative and practical). Signing out.... See you next semester.

THINK I MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON DRUGS!

Just found some of my earliest ideas - must have been on some sort of hallucinatory trip!!!!

ORIGINAL ROOF CONCEPT

Following on from our original brolga thumbnail Anthony and I pushed the concept/metphor to arrive at ideas for the roof which included a spiritualisation of water (and hence an internal exposed gutter ) and a functional roof that both collected water, carried solar panels and provide shade. We developed our roof designs to incorporate the symbolism of birds in flight, the ritualization of water collection, and the sense openness and activity that expresses to the 'social' function of the main pavilion of our domus.

t2 domus model pics

Just posting some images of our domus model.

Hey fellow Archi 2a students, i know we've finished for the semester, but i came across a project called the 2004 Houses of the Future. This is a project which features six houses, and each house is made from a different material.
This project was very similar to our own Domus project because the brief required that each house be environmentally sustainable with sensitive use of materials, rainwater recycling, use of solar panels and passive solar design.

Here are a few pics from the project.....

I feel that we will be designing houses and other buildings like this in the future..........

Domus Development

Hey Guys,
Project Domus was hard work - but we completed it in the end. Our group spent numerous hours deliberating over what seemed like every detail of our Domus..... it was well worth it as im sure we're all thrilled with what we came up with!

Here is some of my intial ideas and research.....
......look closely and you can see some of these ideas incorporated into our final design.
