TRANSCRIPT
architect: Norman Foster
design principals
• Foster characteristically uses modern, high-tech materials in spare, simple designs with little exterior ornamentation
• Later commissions integrate environmental principles with varying degrees of success
• He argues his designs are “sensitive to the culture and climate of its place”
student
my design principles
• My design follows Foster’s earlier work, in which he used modern materials in a spare and simple design
• I used a context-specific design and environmental principles where possible
development
Example 1: design setting (see next slide)
• The site is located within an industrial estate. In order to follow Foster’s principle that design should follow the existing culture of place, I used a conventional steel portal frame construction clad in colourbond.
development
Example 2: Wall detailing (see next slide)
• Portal frames are traditionally constructed of steel or wood. However, the use of glass as a cladding reflects Foster’s utilisation of modern materials to improve design. In order to maximise the impact of this feature, I shifted the first floor away from the exterior cladding to create a glass veil.
development
Example 3: Roof cladding (see next slide)
• Foster conceals services such as wiring and plumbing in order to maintain the appearance of simplicity in design. I therefore used a double layer of colourbond cladding on the roof and walls to conceal services. In addition, I incorporated an insulation layer within this feature in order to improve heat conservation in line with environmental principles.
