Terrace block/ Container city/ Train
Idea is to arrange all the PG departments in a row like individual houses in a terrace housing or bogies in a train, thereby giving imagibility to each department but also combinig to give a united form.
Each PG Dept has a Centre eg. Dept. of Regional Planning operates the Centre for Rural Studies. These centres are the external face of the department. All the centres could be arranged on the ground floor like retail units along a street. Here you shop/ acquire the wisdom/ knowledge/ information that the dept has to offer. Studios on top floor with the idea that in a single continuous run you can visit all department studios.
Mix of departments= Cross polination of ideas.
this is a good idea, both visually and conceptually. and it's what made me fall for the lake idea.
ReplyDeletebut - i'd still like to experiment with departmental mixes a bit more.
