EXP 3 - Moving Element Ideas

I'm planning to bridge the Squarehouse to the Blockhouse just so it can be more accessible from the main walkway and which can also serve as a visible marker from Anzac Parade. The problem now with the Square House is that not everyone can see it, and so that's why it's difficult to access and understand. With this connection, hopefully the Squarehouse can be a more recognisable building on site.

A more subtle moving element. The slats of the Surry Hills library move accordingly to the seasonal changes, allow light to pass through in different situations. These slats are a sustainable and aesthetic function to the facade of the building.

I was thinking of extendable rooms in the bridge. Think matchboxes, or those dining tables that are extendable - but on a larger scale, extendable rooms. Where more sunlight is needed. Think about the spaces around it also, what can this create?? Workshop areas? Recreational hideouts?

EXP 3 - Mashup

ARTICLE MASHUP 

A pattern is a set of relationships, which can be realized using different materials and geometries.

Living architecture is highly dependent on patterns, which shape buildings and spaces accordingly. Balance is achieved by an overall coherence and lack of clutter. Symmetries are all cooperating to support each other, with nothing extraneous or distracting. One of the basic tenets of sustainability is that you do not consume more than can be replaced. We see this simplicity in nature, though it is never actually “simple” in the sense of being minimalist. There is an understanding that – alongside ever improving connections to external information resources – encouraging communication and knowledge sharing within individual companies increases the potential for more creative and experimental approaches to work. 

Simplicity and inner calm. This is a more subtle quality. They are fully embracing changes which promote and stimulate creative work processes through communication, experimentation and new forms of collaboration.
