Images of Bridge Model
These rendered images of my model were selected as they exhibit the most attractive and striking components of my architectural school.
These images showcase my theory of the connection between the symmetry, essence and sustainability of nature and its connection to architecture and design. Following the form and function of nature can solve design problems as well as inspire future design ideas.
I found nature and a university to intertwine and complement each other nicely as nature is ever-growing and constantly developing so too is the knowledge and skills that are learned at a university.
The curvaceous form of the floor plans resembles those of branches as they outreach across the campus allowing students and staff to walk throughout the university campus. The pattern on the roof follows the function of leaves and acts as a cover over the students and staff in the rooms underneath it. The wooden finish on the walls of the rooms mimics the bark that wraps around a tree, protecting its enclosures like a tree protects its nutrients within.
The openness of my design is to communicate fluidity, learning and growth. It is a space that maximizes sunlight as a form of natural light, this is done to mimic the process of photosynthesis which is nature's way of growth through natural sunlight. My idea of a school or learning environment is for it to be open, airy, inspiring and endless, similar to the ever-growing form of nature itself.
