Criteria and Brief

Project 2
Modular Learning

Concept:
To create a modular learning centre in which people can inhabit at different times and perform a large number of activities. The learning will be heavily influenced by the break space. This built form incorporates modular architecture, with consideration to how it can change over time.

Project 2 pays homage to the values established in the Folie, but will ultimately evolve through research, and architectural exploration into a fascinating, unique and inspiring building which will touch on the follow attributes:
• Multiple uses (What the building is now and in the future)
• Multiple Users (Who will be using this space)
• Prefabrication (Changeable architectural form)
• Variation (In modular form)
• Whether or not this building is ‘upcyclable’ or decomposable or both

To design a multifunctional learning centre on the Howard Smith Wharf Site. To visit the contextual, geographical and social issues investigated in Project 1 again, identify key issues relevant to modular architecture. To gain a very good understanding of Modular Architecture, site, users, relationships to surrounding areas and Brisbane as a whole as a subtropical city.
