SPACES VOLUMES AND PLANNING

SPACES VOLUMES AND PLANNING

Volumes have been allocated to each of the nine disciplines for our learning centre which we propose to facilitate the exchange of information between professionals and young adults in their relevant fields of expertise. We have previously separated the nine schools of thought into four separate learning areas and at this point of the process each have been grouped together on plan. Centrally to each grouping is an allocation of space from the open learning hub to allow for interdisciplinary learning. Circulation traverses between learning spaces predominantly through the central void which additionally acts as a light well.










We have the canteen restaurant and cafe as well as the library in the upper levels to look over green sections of the roof and to facilitate use by occupants of Narau House.




We also experimented with how vehicular traffic could enter our building via a large ramp from Exhibition street but with trepidation. Within the central grid of the city such transport should be discouraged and so we propose to remove this allocation from the brief.
