My vision of HSW is primarily to showcase the beauty of the natural environment. Fields of Grass and natural life, Park Grounds, small shops and cafes, as well as the placement of Science Centre, would definitely effectively promote this site as a family-friendly location - and a landmark to which draws in locals, non-locals, and tourists.

When visiting the site, the user feels a sense of tranquility by the natural environment and landscape that surrounds the HSW Science Centre

When approaching the HSW Science Centre, the visitor is taken on an instant journey - as soon as see people movement in the building

P3.07

At the entry of the HSW Science Centre the visitor is exposed to the grandness of the building in which protrudes from the ground.

Progress thus far??

hmmmm..... I thought I should post up something yeah - show my progress right???
So, I used SketchUp to model my building, and used SU podium plug-in for the render... and to finish it off I pulled out my handy dandy photoshop skills to give a bit more texture to the image...

Again this image illustrates my idea of sites natural elements (the cliff) acting as the driving force for my design and masterplanning.

Sketches - site planning - masterplanning

Basic Masterplan - to be developed further - 

Building Function diagrams

As discussed in project 2, instead of using text to describe the function of a science centre - rather use diagrams.

Trellis Trellis Trellis... architecture...

Oh Boy, designing the trellis or "mesh facade" of the building has been a killler! I've just finished designing it on sketch up now, its a little different from my original design, but in saying that Its still organic and fluid-like in its shape and still achieves the same purpose of acting as the "roots" to the building. I will post up an image soon, but for now, here's some inspiration for my trellis design....
