PRACTICE NORTH: CRUCIFORM

Site Analysis

Building Function Building Height Green & Water Noise History: 1920s & 1950s Traffjc nosie from the Great Howard Street Traffjc noise from the back bridge Occasional noise from the Light Body Street The canal facing side have a good view of the landscape 1920's canal has a part extend into the site IDEA 2: Recall the old canal.

• ld form.

STRATEGY 3: Place the building in the green area. Use the purple area as sound attenuation space. STRATEGY 2: Activities/Rooms needs natural light can be put in the yellow part. Activities/Rooms has no need for natural light can be put it the orange part. STRATEGY 1: Make the purposed building height 2-3 stories. Put the main social space in the middle to have a better sunshine. IDEA 1: Make the building west-east. Therefore it becomes 'connection' of residential part and commerical part.

Precedents Developed Massing

BBC Scotland headquarters, David Chipperfjeld The stairs is a characteristic and worth learning: make it not only for circulation but for social activities as well. Rivington Place, Adjaye Associates The facade is interesting. In night the building itself can become a landscape. Massing 1: Blocks The massing is consist of difgerent size of blocks. When forming the blocks the activities type and space is taken into consideration. From west to east basically they are: ENTRANCE & ACADEMIC, ADMINISTRATIVE, SOCIAL SPACE, TECHNICAL *Massing 2: Connection The massing is come from the idea 1 and strategy 2. Two long west-east cuboid, bigger

• ne is the place mainly for rooms do not need natural light, like cinema, fjlm studio; the

smaller one is the place for rooms need natural light, like classroom, offjce, meeting room. *This massing is chosen to developed. Massing 3: Response Besides the pool responds to the old canal, the massing is formed as a result of make a response to the shape of the canal.

Massing Option

The massing is developed from the option 2

• 1. The in-between space naturally forms an atrium.
• 2. Rooms need/do not need light: the simple classifjcation is evolved into the idea of 'zone'

———— the building can be divided into blocks

• 3. Need a social space facing the canal: another atrium in the middle
• 4. Cruciform atrium: serves as both social space and circulation
