Final Presentation

My goal was to design a flexible, multi-purpose space, which is seamlessly integrated and caters to all needs. It was not just a building to facilitates effective different functions in the urban fabric but also creates a park where nature and architecture become one

The concept was transforming the steep landscape to a building for leisure, art, communal activities and living. It unfolded nature and art along the entire landscape as independent component.

concept growing stages

It is designed upon a desire to be a part of this city, its country, its culture and its people and use in the favor of public activity more rather than commercial and residential building.

The entire complex provides programmed spaces for the foreseeable future

Circulation: The building has multiple entrance ways allowing easy circulation for the people coming in. The visibility to the retail and food court has been enhanced by the use of a large passageway space which also serves as a mufti function area for other associated activities. Vertical circulation is organized with escalators increasing accessibility to all levels of the building.

Temporary and permanent structure

The project’s structural elements extend from landscaping principles and integrate seamlessly into the surrounding environment which has permanent and temporary components. This feature allows the building to both adapt with social, functional and technological change and also be able to accommodate human needs. It is a dynamic adaptable building which could act as a residential space today and the next week would be a back packer hostel, exhibition or commercial center in the Paddington face.

Identity

This permanent structure gives an unforgettable identity to the building in Paddington while the temporary structure changes as a result of the ever-changing times. This is an important feature in the building as buildings house more than people and furniture, they contain memories, and when a building is demolished, these memories pass out of time, like the time my primary school was demolished..

HOSTEL 2025

EXHIBITION 2027

This permanent structure consists of retail space, a food court, a bar, car park, a dance floor and social activities in the ground floor and lower levels, serves the various temporary functions

It is a comfortable place in each level to sit protected from the mid-day sun and strong winds, or having BBQ.

Auditorium

Auditorium was located at a point lower than the rest of the building. The plan shares the passageway with a space to be able to adapt to changing conditions of use. It become the symbol for large and small cultural events and concerts in the Paddington area which offered its beautiful surroundings. The position was ideal because the Auditorium was at the end of the building and then all the people come together in this .

It was a great place for the outdoor activities for a variety of events, even the weekend markets with the retractable roofs which provide a shade that is similar to cloud cover.

AUDITORIUM

The passage way occupies between two parts of the building, it is the liveliest space. It is open a large way which has strong relationship with the city but also preserved from the traffic

An atmosphere with all the social activity and movement create a fluid and evolutionary area. People could have profile in social activity area on the digital wall or could use a gift wall for selling their ideas. They could use this profile to do the online shopping and have an identity in paddington central.

While people are dancing on the floor, pressure is converted into energy by the sensors on the floor and the converted energy can be displayed on an interactive screen.

Totally, it is an area you could spend hours and hours there without being tired or board. They could do the shopping easily while having drink or meal, dance or make a sculpture.
