REAL TIME IMAGE CAPTURES OF THE DEVELOPED LUMION ENVIRONMENT

LEARNING CENTRE

The gallery, meeting rooms and library lies on the lowest level of the bridge where main circulation occurs. The reason for this, is that they provide the most function to the public, not only those who carry courses in this building. This is an important function as the entirety of UNSW Students and Staff have access to this bridge.

OFFICE SPACES


The Office Spaces which include academic and administrative . Evidently, following one of Le Corbusier's Five points of architecture, the free plan, the offices are placed on a level above the bridge, allowing for a greater open space on the bottom floor and hence allowing for main circulation.
  

TEACHING


The Teaching Spaces are also built to avoid the main circulation of the bridge. However, as there is a vast majority of students using these facilities it is important that these buildings remain accessible. Hence the buildings remain connected to features of the first floor. For example, the studio is connected to the gallery.
  

EXTERIOR VIEWS


MOVING ELEMENTS



The main reason for these walkways between buildings being uncovered is that these will be most frequently be used by students interchanging between buildings. When circulating between buildings its important to give students fresh air as being contained by shelter throughout the day will not promote strong educational habits.  
The moving rooftop similarly to the moving roof on walkway embodies the theory, providing an aesthetic appeal and important function. In most circumstances the rooftop is half complete with the columns elevating the shelter from the ground providing easy access and enjoyment of the natural environment. The shelter closes to provide shade and cover from environmental conditions.

THE THEORY

Louis Sullivan: Form Follows Function  (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/11/051128194123.htm)
Le Corbusier: Five Points of Architecture  (http://anibal.gyte.edu.tr/hebe/AblDrive/73746022/w/Storage/987_2011_1_310_73746022/Downloads/5-points-of-arch.pdf)

Three News Article
In recent years, modern architecture has illustrated an avant-garde full of crazy ideas. However, these designs lack thoughts of purpose, hence the developed architectural theory is, A pragmatic utopian architecture that takes on the creation of socially, economically and environmentally perfect places as a practical objective.
There are two architectural structures being created, the school and the bridge. Both would be designed with a similar concept that if form follows function, then you should be able to look at a building and have a good idea about what goes on inside. This is significant as it allows people to make sense of a place and help people figure out where they are. However, if this concept is not developed it would be like buildings of well-organized corporate consultants that build predictable and boring boxes of high standard.
Two of Le Corbusier’s Five points of architecture are:
(1) the pilotis elevating the mass off the ground
(2) the free plan, achieved through the separation of the load-bearing columns from the walls subdividing the space
Although suspending elements mid-air may be depicted as detached from reality that failing to become something other than eccentric curiosities, placing areas on a higher level, allows for the ground floor being almost entirely open. The bridge acts as the ground floor and with open space allows its purpose to be demonstrated which is to account for main circulation flow.

Furthermore, through the suspension of elements in the air presenting mysticism of computer visualisations alongside the concept of form following of the other elements, a small but very fertile overlap between the two creates a distinctive theory.
