Plan

Through this plan I attempted to connect each chosen building with in mind of accessibility, appropriateness to determine the most convenient way of getting around campus as a computational design student.
­­
Reason for bridge locations and positioning : With reference to my concept mashup I want to incorporate facilities that utilise or relate to areas of research in particular categories. The following portrays why I chose to include particular facilities:

Square House: Fabrication and physical modelling is a major part as a computational design student, therefore convenient access to the Fablab, 24/7 area and Workshops is necessary.

Anzac Parade: The main entrance of the bridge at Anzac Parade could implement convenience to and from the Red Centre Building. This also provides a safe way of transporting models, projects or posters via public transport from Anzac Parade to the Red Centre exhibition space.

Red Centre: This building is utilised mostly as tutorial and exhibition space for computational design students.

School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering: Involving the design of automobiles in the mashup incorporates the use of manufacturing mechanical utilities such as automobiles can provide the architectural practice with an understanding of design in a mechanical direction.

Barker Street Parking Station: Producing physical models, projects and posters can be hard to transport using public transport, so incorporating access from the Barker Street parking lot enables convenient access to the Red Centre exhibition space.

Inspirtation

Inspiration:

This is a video animation of 1111 Lincoln Road created by Herzog & de Meuron

11 11 is a unique shopping, dining, residential and parking experience located at the gateway to Lincoln Road’s pedestrian promenade. As Miami’s premier urban lifestyle destination, 11 11 features a curated collection of international retailers and fine fare hotspots at its base. It is relevant to my concept mashup as it combines automobile transport space with areas and environments that are utilised in an odd fashion. With the car park being  located in central levels.

Image 1: I would like to include a façade on the bridge that is similar to this one. I also would like it to include a high-performance material such as carbon fibre to keep the structure within a performative approach to architecture. I wish to input panels that adapt to environmental factors such as wind and sunlight. This would be considered as one of the bridges moving components.

Al Bahar Towers, Abu Dhabi:

These towers incorporate a performative and responsive approach to architecture as the facades of the towers adapt to environmental conditions such as temperature, wind, sandstorms and intense UV light. I would like to incorporate this type of technologies within elements of the design of my bridge.

Concept Mashup

The development of architecture in the 20th century is inextricably bound up with the rise of the automobile. The integration of resulting computational capabilities within a systems engineering framework has given birth to a revolutionary approach in the form of quantitative conceptual design of materials. Carbon fibre is architecture's biggest untapped resource according to architect and researcher Achim Menges, who claims that robots could be programmed to build stadium roofs using the fibrous building material.  For high-performance materials science principles provides a hierarchy of computational models defining subsystem design parameters that are integrated, through computational thermodynamics, in the comprehensive design of materials as interactive systems. Menges is currently developing a software program to make robotic construction more intuitive and has been experimenting with the system to build a carbon-fibre pavilion.  Two of the most important architects of the early Modern era—Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier—were both heavily influenced in their work (though in very different ways) by the automobile; they each even went so far as to design an automobile.
The architect believes projects like this, which combine digital technology and physical fabrication, have the potential to completely revolutionize the construction industry. But long before the somewhat dystopic present, "carchitecture" had a somewhat utopic past. A systems approach that integrates processing, structure, property, and performance relations has been used in the conceptual design of multilevel-structured materials. The future will be intriguing to see what grand "carchitectural" theories the 21st century brings.
