Studio week 1












Site details (by inspection and research):


Located on the right when entering from gate 4, it is next to the Fig Tree theatre. It is a now-defunct


theatre, previously used by NIDA students for performing arts.
-      What buildings/structures are on the site and their heights, levels and distance apart from one another?

o   There are two main buildings on the site which include ‘tower 13’ and a house.

o   The tallest point of the house was approximately 9.8 metres above the ground, whilst the tallest point of ‘tower 13’ was approximately 9.02 metres above the ground.

o   Both structures are multilevel and there are four floors in the tower and there are 3 floors in the house. The main method reaching the different levels is using stairs.

o   There are approximately 5.74 metres between the house and tower.


-      Where do we get into the buildings? What openings are there?

o   House (north face): There are no entries and 11 windows for the house.
o   Tower (north face): There are 4 entries for and 5 windows for tower.
o   House (Westside): 3 entries and 12 windows for the house.
o   Tower (Westside): 5 entries and no windows for the tower.
o   House (Southside): 1 entry and 10 windows for the house.
o   Tower (Southside): 1 entry and 2 windows for the tower.
o   House (East side): 1 entry and 17 windows for the house.
o   Tower (East side): No entries and one window for the tower.



-      What natural and material elements are found on the site?

o   There are trimmed bushes around the perimeter of the site and on some sides of the house.
o   There are purple hydrangeas distributed in closed garden spaces around the house.
o   The south side of the tower has tall trees masking the view and is the only natural element there.
o   Small boxed spaces in the ground house small trees that are less populated.
o   One massive tree contains long vines which create lots of debris and fallout on the north face.


-      How do people use the site?

o   The tower is a typical housing arrangement and people only travel through the west end of - the site to enter the tower. The north and east faces contain pathways, where people may be walking to other buildings/bus stop/ table tennis tables or sitting on the bench areas waiting for others. The site is however in a sense closed off and doesn’t have many people entering the house or tower area without the purpose of entering into them.
