Structural Integrity

As my design building will be covering existing heritage buildings on Elizabeth st and Albert st, I needed to research of exemplar building system and how they are connected.

Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects: Portico, The Scots Church Redevelopment (2005)

                                        

This project saw TZG transform the disused heritage-listed Scots Church in Sydney’s CBD – originally designed by Rosenthal, Rutledge and Beattie in 1927-30 – into a residential development.

Sitting atop the original six-storey building, the form of the new zinc-clad addition borrows from the neo-Gothic language of the church. For structural support, the project makes use of an existing steel frame, installed when the church was first built as support for an additional six storeys – a plan later abandoned with the arrival of the Depression.

 

 

 The rhythm of zinc and glass reinterprets the architecture of the heritage building, while variation between glazing, blinds and shutters reflects the project’s residential use. Double-storey apartments are contained within a graduated height plane, which preserves solar access to the neighbouring park, and also transforms the south-facing roof into a façade in its own right.

Inspiration of functional idea

Dong Dae Mun Design Park & Plaza

This inspiring hub provides an important link between the contemporary culture, historic artefacts and emerging nature at the centre of Dongdaemun, Seoul. A learning resource for designers and members of the public combined with an urban oasis for leisure, relaxation and refuge, its continuous landscape promotes fluid thinking across all design disciplines.

.....“A fundamental aim of the scheme is to bring delight and inspiration to the people of Seoul by establishing a cultural hub in the centre of one of the busiest and most historic districts of the city” says Zaha Hadid. “The design has been governed by the belief that architecture must enable people to think beyond existing boundaries to reach innovative design solutions. This combined investment in education and research, together with the city’s public cultural programmes will inspire new generations of designers, helping to maintain Korean industry’s reputation as a leader in innovation.”....

Site visit and analysis

  The site I chose is located at the corner of elizabeth st and albert st which is most busiest area in brisbane cbd. There is a lot of floating population in this place but the area needs to be adjusted and district plannings with pedestrian and traffic road are needed. This area has entrance of Myer centre and the one of main street in heart of brisbane cbd but I feel as though the Myer centre and other surrounding buildings in way represents the identity or character of brisbane. all the buildings in this section are retail store and some other shops which is enclosed with a blank facade.
