Studio Delta: Enterprize Library

Project Brief: Design a library for the city of Melbourne in the enterprize park area.

The challenges of this project is to design a quiet public space in a park with a lot of noise from the trains and roads nearby. In addition, as it was quite shaded by the viaducts, there is a limited access to natural light. Lastly, the site is important to both aboriginal heritage and melbourne’s history as it was the area where the enterprize ship landed. Therefore, there is a need to acknowledge that history within the design.

My Approach: As it was a large scale project with many considerations, I didn’t want to head straight into 3D remodeling and digital drawings. From previous experience, it takes a lot more time to make changes on 3D software, whereas in pen and paper, it is much faster and I could get feedback quickly during class. Therefore, I try to spend more time in the initial design phrase with pen and paper before moving into 3D modeling.
