Primary Planning Controls
What is subdivision?
Subdivision
involves dividing a property into smaller lots that can be sold
separately, consolidation is the joining of two or more lots together
to make a larger lot under the one ownership.
How it affects our design and
building on the Mosman site?

What is land zoning?
Land zoning is the principle legal
document for controlling development and guiding planning decisions
made by council to facilitate new development that is compatible and
appropriate with the preferred role and character of an area. The LEP

In
each project we begin with information and disorder, confusion of
purpose, program ambiguity, an infinity of materials and forms. All
of these elements, like obfuscating smoke, swirl in a nervous
atmosphere. Architecture is a result of acting on this indeterminacy.
To open architecture to questions of perception, we must suspend disbelief, disengage the rational half of the mind, and simply play and explore. Reason and skepticism must yield to a horizon of discovery. Doctrines cannot be trusted in this laboratory. Intuition is our muse. The creative spirit must be followed with happy abandon. A time of research precedes synthesis.

Notes for Brief - Part One
Steven Holl
- gets up in the morning and draws
- “the morning is the time when the mind is the most subjective”
- conveys ideas best through a sharp pencil and fine paper, conveying his mind
- drawing is the way he thinks, the way he argues points
- you can watch the buildings taking shape through his drawings
- before computing was invented it was the way things were always done and he wishes to keep that aspect an influential part of his designing
- different projections allow for you to explore through a 2D form the spatial qualities of a building
- drawing= a way to shape space first
- designed cut lines through an elevation give a building shape and character
- buildings sliced by sunlight
- bringing the sunlight into to a building, making it apart of the building
- buildings within buildings = bamboo on the inside and cortex steel on the outside
- projections
- vision out of the building
- shaping public space & the building having the same morphology
- to really know people “you have to know their poetry”
- carving out of space
- pursued architecture studies in Rome in 1970
- born in 1947 in Bremerton, Washington
- recognised for his ability to blend space and light with great contextual sensitivity and to utilise the unique qualities of each project
- creates concept driven design
- seamlessly integrated new projects into context with particular cultural and historic importance
- he did post-graduate work in an architectural association in London
- Steven Holl takes a few main ideas and bases his architecture around that
- imperative concepts
- the focus on materials is a personal consideration of Holl, all of his projects place emphasis on this aspect of architecture
- the articulation and selection of materials is important
- models based on materials are developed before the ideas and design concepts are steeled upon
- he considers materials to be significant to the design because of how they affect the character of the architecture
- he feels these material selections begin to inform the ideas from the onset
- an important understanding of aptly sequenced spaced, articulation of structure, infiltration of light, and attention to construction detailing
- places emphasis on a strong relationship formed between architect and client
- Holl is influenced by the surrounding environment and the characteristics of the environment to weave and invoke the outside in
- physical “stretto” (the musical imitation of the subject in close succession is answered before its completed)
- music can evoke into an idea about fluid connections between architectural spaces
- house is in four sections in correspondence with the four movements of music for strings
- heavy sounds expressed through orthogonal masonry
- light is conveyed and depicted by curvilinear metal
- the metal overlaps the masonry “spatial dams”
- in the main house “aqueous space” is created by the following measures: floor plan pulls the level of one space through into the next, roof planes pull space over walls and an arched wall pulls light down from a skylight
- use of materials are used to continue these spatial concepts
- view through main entries reveals the overlapping and internal spaces inside
- interior cogency Is maintained by slightly revealing the construction method with material and detailing
- materials and method of construction follow the concept of heavy orthogonal and light curvilinear
- light/heavy concept
- light/heavy & orthogonal/curved ideas were expressed structurally
- it is integral to the design and must be depicted throughout
- “unlike a beginning in form, the concept transcends the abstract, organising the experimental phenomenal”
- the pleasure of architectural experiences-the phenomena of light and spatial sequence, textures, smells and sounds
Assignment Two Course Brief
Write a brief, from the point of view of the client.
Representation can occur through drawings (both technical and emotive), physical forms such as models, film and animation as shown this morning, and as written or verbal description.
Part 1:
Do some research on your selected architect / artist / designer to determine what they might look for in the design of a home for themselves. Can you find any information on family? What about their cultural roots? What can you say about their design style? Think through these and other questions and write up a section on your blog that defines how this person would define their needs and desires in a home.
If it is a company you are using as your research topic, treat them as a person... If there is no family that you can identify, then you are defining a bachelor pad....
Part 2:
Put together a brief. Remember that in this document you must define not only what you want (as the client, but why) In this circumstance your brief must be capable of being understood by your architect without you there to explain it, son includes lots of explanations about room sizes, how they will be used, how your family interacts in the home, how you entertain, how you like to work in the kitchen and other general living spaces, etc. A document of this nature will run to at least 4 pages of material combining the lists of spaces and the explanation of those spaces. Also be sure that you explain the architectural style that you want for your home, and include images that help to explain what you are after.

Description of Model
My building formed from three primitive
shapes (wedge, cone & cylinder), specifically designed to be
situated within a secluded environment in which my building could
effortlessly capture the view and surrounding environment and
transport it into the building, creating a slim deviation between
inside and out, whilst still adhering to the assignment brief.
There are three main aspects of my
building, they include the light well, the top level and the
protruding bottom level window. The light well acts as a recurring
motif throughout the building
The LightWell
the light well begins at the ground
level and rises up through the building as a continuous light shaft,
that consists of an idealistic and manicured man made garden at the
very bottom. The light well is open at the top, so when it rains,
rain water can run down the glass sides of the shaft creating a
natural and harmonic water feature throughout every level of the
building.
The idea of the garden at the bottom of
the lightwell has been purposely placed to contrast to the
environment found beyond the walls of the building. As a person
approaches the entrance of the building, the lightwell can be seen
directly from the glass door, acting as a focal and vanishing point
for the person at the front door. Visually manipulating them to
believe they are seeing the end of the building. However as they
progress through the building their visibility is enhanced and
broadened as the transition from the living room to the kitchen area
experiences a lowering in ceiling height and a wider viewing angle of
the light well, garden, kitchen, stair case and a slight glimpse of
the outside environment. As a person moves around the lightwell they
are enriched with a vast and panoramic view of a diverse, unordered,
beautiful view of nature, creating a deep contrast to the confined
manicured, man made garden previously viewed.
Protruding Window
the protruding window is used to allow
a person to feel within and apart of the landscape they are viewing.
The drastic change in celling height from the dining room into the
protruding window encourages and invites one to step into the
protruding window.
Top Level
The top level of the building was
intentionally designed to be a multi-purpose space allowing for a
wide range of uses. With the large increase in people working from
home and changes to the Environmental Planning Act, running a
business from home is becoming an increasing trend. However, not
only are more businesses are being run under the Home Occupation Act,
people in today’s society are seeking a lifestyle of entertainment.
Because I believe that peoples desire
to entertain and run a business from home is a very popular
occurrence, I wanted to design my building so that it was malleable
and would suit the needs of a modern person/family, and that is how I
formed the top level of my building.
The top level consists of a large space
for entertaining, business meetings or discussions with a client, a
toilet, and two rooms, as well as access to a panoramic verandah and
the street level. The layout of the top level was designed to
increase the privacy and insulation of the lower levels, which was
achieved through the construction of a lift on the exterior of the
building, a separate entrance and access to the lower levels on the
opposite side to the lift entrance. This placement was specifically
done for acoustic, ventilation, and privacy reasons (after all if you
are having a meeting with a client you don’t want them to hear the
children fighting in the levels below!).
