  1. cit a library without books inside/out City Lounge St Gallen Switzerland CREATING PLACE

  2. Day 1 creating place a library without books Natalie Wright Lecturer in Interior Design Rebekah Davies Lecturer & PhD Candidate in Industrial Design Adam Wigg Lecturer in Architecture /Urban Design Elizabeth Scott Student in Interior Design Cassandra Donald Student in Interior Design ` MENTOR TEAM

  3. Day 1 creating place • What is Interior Design? • design & construction of functional, safe and aesthetically meaningful interior environments • enhance the quality of life & culture of the occupants • custom design or specify furniture, lighting, walls, flooring, colour, materials & graphics • understanding of technical and theoretical aspects of how people interact with and experience space DESIGN FOR OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT

  4. Day 1 creating place • What is Industrial Design? • creation of products that enhance people’s lives functionally, aesthetically and meaningfully • understanding of technology/innovation • understanding of people and society • understanding of design process • designing products that are viable to mass manufacture DESIGN FOR OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT

  5. Day 1 creating place • What is Architecture? • the process and product of planning, designing and constructing • reflects functional, social, and aesthetic considerations. • the manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light & shadow • encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing designed spaces • design activity from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details) DESIGN FOR OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT

  6. Day 1 creating place • What is Landscape Architecture • & Urban Design? • combines art and science to create meaningful and enjoyable outdoor places • responds to the economic, social and environmental interests of communities • design and planning of projects including: parks/recreational places • botanic gardens • sporting complexes • various educational, commercial, industrial and residential sites, • landscapes associated with major infrastructure systems - roads and railways DESIGN FOR OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT

  7. Day 1 creating place a library without books 2:00 - 2:20pm Introduction 2:20 - 3:00pm Understanding the Design Brief Exercise Part A Context & Content - Exploring the VAST framework 3:00 – 4:00pm Creating Place Exercise Part B Concept – Generation of Important Ideas ` PROGRAM

  8. Day 1 creating place • What is a library without books? • State Library of Queensland • Learning for all • Queensland memory: for today and tomorrow • Community connections • “Libraries are social, community and meeting places, as well as learning centres.” • “The design is all about creating an open space which, unlike many public buildings of the past, is neither intimidating nor conventional. I want visitors to be able to look inside without having to go in.” • Principal Architect, Timothy HillDonovan Hill and Peddle Thorp ` Challenging the perceptions of ‘place’… What it was, What it is and What it will be? UNDERSTANDING THE DESIGN BRIEF

  9. Day 1 creating place The VAST framework an aid to ‘thinking like a designer’ Addressing a complex problem that has no ‘right answer’ Helping us identify and organise essential information Values Activities Site Technology • a library without books • a learning space for all • celebrating memory & significance • creating community connection & communication ` UNDERSTANDING THE DESIGN BRIEF

  10. Day 1 creating place Values Who will be using the space? In your groups pretend you each represent different people living in the community & put yourself in their shoes. What are the most important qualities that the space must have? What experience do you want to create? What are some other successful spaces which Illustrate the experience you want to create? What are the expectations of privacy, safety? What might be the aesthetic preferences? How might this design be organised, what are the overriding principles? VALUES

  11. Day 1 creating place Activities In your groups pretend you each represent different people living in the community & put yourself in their shoes. What will be the main activities involved in this space by these different people? Will these change in the future? What are the necessary connections and groupings between activities? What technology do you need to provide for these activities? How will people get to the site? What are their transport needs? ACTIVITIES

  12. Day 1 creating place Site Site analyse might involve the following: Wind and Rainfall Natural lighting patterns, window locations Night lighting patterns (safety) Sun path Human and Cultural conditions Views from site, to site and through site Sensory conditions eg.smell Noise Points of interest on site and surrounding area Form and Scale SITE

  13. what is subtropical design? • Well-designed subtropical places : • promote local character and identity • have a strong connection between indoors and outdoors • have openness and permeability • are ecologically sustainable • treat water & vegetation as if they really matter • use very little greenhouse gas producing energy and precious potable water  • are cost-effective over time DESIGN FOR CLIMATE

  14. what is subtropical design? Rule of thumb 1 – temperature control use elongated or segmented floor plans isolate heat generating functions shade outdoor living areas let the heat escape at highest part of the roof capitalise on cool night-time temperatures Rule of thumb 2 – sun control reduce radiation of heat into covered or enclosed spaces control the entry of direct sun exclude summer sun welcome warm sunshine in winter Rule of thumb 3 – air movement and humidity air movement is essential provide cooling paths for breezes by keeping external surfaces shaded or use grass instead of hard materials Rule of thumb 3 – air movement and humidity air movement is essential provide cooling paths for breezes by keeping external surfaces shaded or use grass instead of hard materials DESIGNING FOR CLIMATE

  15. Technology What kind of technology and equipment do we need to suit the future activities of the community? What are our resources available? What services do we need? Should these be sustainable? Eg water, energy What local materials can we utilise? What critical physical insertions do we need to make in this environment? Eg. Roofs, furniture, lighting, signage, planting, controls, displays ` TECHNOLOGY

  16. Day 1 creating place • a library without books • Understanding the Design Brief • Exercise Part A • Context & Content - Exploring the VAST framework • Analyse the Stones Corner library site • Using the VAST framework, brainstorm ideas for the Stones Corner library redevelopment under the four headings of • Values, Activities, Site and Technology • do sketches, rubbings and take photos to illustrate some of these ideas. This work will form part of your concept presentation ACTIVITY

  17. Day 1 creating place a library without books Creating Place Exercise Part B Concept – Generation of Important Ideas • imagining and representing • using text, rubbings, photos & sketches as a collage develop a concept presentation which illustrates your key ideas • use the design elements & principles to achieve the desired qualities for the space • 1 x A4 concept board each for values, activities, site and technology • 1 x A3 site analysis – highlight key site conditions and design response • five minute group presentation on Friday discussing the key values, activities, site and technology aspects of your concept ACTIVITY
