Planning
School of Architecture
2 grades (50 people each year with total 100 students)
Student Learning Areas
Forum space will be approximately 175m2 with 50 seats. A traditional lecture theatre is no longer needed as lectures can be viewed online.
Studio spaces will use 200m2 with 40 seats.
A Small workshop 50m2 with 40 seats. --> Small as the Squarehouse already has a large accessible workshop.
Staff Areas
144m2 of Academic offices with 12 seats.
30m2 Admin Offices
100m2 of Research (pHD) areas with 10 seats
32m2 of Staff Meeting Rooms
Shared Learning/Display Areas
Gallery will be 150m2 with 50 seats
Student meeting rooms will be 45m2 with 15 seats.
The Library will be 72m2; it will be small as most information is accessed online nowadays; also as the UNSW main library has a large selection of Architecture related books.
Structure Planning
I want to building to stand out from its surroundings yet also connect seamlessly to it; curved surfaces accommodate this.
The spiral shown in the rough diagram above would be the walkway. Learning Spaces would stretch off to the side or in the middle of the spiral to keep walkways unblocked and to maximise the space that can be used.
A small lift will be placed in the centre of the spiral for disability access; (the spiral is also a ramp.)
