WEEK TWELVE

Program....

So from my form development I moved onto to spatial arraignment within the environmental education centre...

So starting from ground floor and moving around the building as you would if you were visiting the education centre..

I started with the ground floor, Which i wanted to use as the lobby, it would be more of a place for classes to sort them selves out before moving though the rest of the building..




Above the lobby on the first floor I decided to place office spaces and staff rooms, this allows easy access to the lobby and does not interrupt with the circulation of public though the building...

 Above the staff rooms I decided to place the theatre/ presentation room. room would be a room that has a short film that is on loop, so people can enter and exit the room at any time, this prevents people waiting around in the lobby for one class to finish and move on...










People then move into the main exhibition space (via lift or stairs, not to sure yet on how people would move around this space or where the cloud room would be, possibly above the rest of the exhibition space? but how would people get there? 

From the exhibition space people would then move to the green house via the lifts at the other end of the exhibition space (the ones they DIDNT come up in). I placed the green house on the level below the exhibion space so people could see down from the exhibion space into the green house... The space also needed to be tall so the trees had room to grow...

People would them move down again into the changing exhibion space and then to the cafe on the ground floor.. where they would exit outside...

The partial secion (if that is what you would call it) shows how the left side of the building would work... the exterior facade will be separate to the floors allowing people to hear and see people on the floors above and below. this would allow people entering the building to hear the fun and laughter from the other levels...
