audy's floor and roof plans



Hey yo, this is audy, using alex’s account, so underneath are my floor and roof plans

on floor plan, it's fairly staright forward, spaces are tagged, the red lines indicate the paths, the play area is in blue while the slope is in green lines, and i've relocated my messy area next to the play area just beside the ICT lab, top right corner, we have the teacher's small sitting lounge, next to the kitchen and a small dinning area on the adjoining room. and...well thats about it, really.




roof plan: on my classrooms, i connected two classes under one roof, so we r having 3 roofs instead of 6 of small ones.


 

P.s: btw IAN, would you mind sending me another invitation email, I been trying to log in with my account for ages, but there seemed to be an error, and your old invitation email, had already gone. Thanks very much! My email : toobadv@hotmail.com

The strength of this scheme is actually in the concept that alludes to the continental drift theory. All earth was one land mass once, and bits broke off and drifted away in the ocean, forming continents. Or less dramatically—this is a series of islands off the mainland. No wonder you come from Indonesia.

If this is the idea that comes forth, then we might as well sell it!

I feel the long curved block and the MPH should combine into one mass as the mainland, and the ict lab and toilets be like the continuation of this promontory but has just broken off with the rising sea level. So these must read as a unified “natural” geological whole. However this kindergarten should have a “dressed” or “cultivated” side when it faces the approaching public. That is, the western, eastern and northern side of this mainland block should be a smooth single line to represent itself to the outside world.

It is the other side, the inner side that nurtures the offspring that should be organic (and jagged), and mirror the shape of the offspring that have broken off—the single child, the twins and the triplets—i.e. you may wish to combine the classrooms as one, two, three to make six. You would need to be bold and let the outlines of the roofs show that the offspring have actually broken off from the mother mass. Probably metal sheet roofing will do the trick. Concrete may be too heavy looking for a kindy. And, of course, the red paths will be the umbilical cord.

While the twins and triplets share a roof each between them you might want to express the space between each class room in each set with skylights. Be subtle about it, skylight sheets in the same plane as the metal roofing sheet, not sticking out.

The carporch roof wants to be the roof eaves just cantilevered out. Remember roofs can go out 3 more meters from building setback line.

The entrance lobby must be sufficiently big as you don’t seem to have many fat gathering spaces.

Move quickly for Monday so we can freeze the scheme.
