From my last project I took the idea of vertical or overhead grounding conditions and the idea of creating a study space into this design. I used these elements to comment on the public nature of the undergraduate spaces and to create a new, more intimate relationship between a single human body and the architecture (O.G.G.B. is a massive building and the only place with a intimate relationship with the induvidual is the bathrooms). The site is under the fairly private skydecks on levels 3 and above that are available primarily to post graduate students (such is the hierarchical nature of the building. The site is also consequnetly interacting with the large glass wall of the main atrium between levels 1 and 2 - a perfect place to comment on the public nature of the building as it is visible from the interior and also the motorway which passes alongside the building. My design took the form of pods or "bubbles" through the common association of the bubble with induvidual space - "my own little bubble".
If anyone has any questions please ask.
