Design Summary
The
city
of
Adelaide
is
a
small,
but
its
development
is
largely
focused
on
people
who
live
in.
The
keen
effort
to
preserve
current
RAHsite
heritages
has
been
pursued
for
this
new
development.
We
believe
the
outcome
will
bring people to the past in reflection of history and memory where they have been raised and lived for.
In
regards
to
the
cultural
and
educational
precinct
of
the
Adelaide
city
plan,
the
major
concern
for
the
design
was
not
only
to
bring
people
to
the
new
squares
for
sports,
movie,
festivals,
meetings,
and
so
on,
but
to
give
chances
of
learning
and
experiencing
the
history
and
culture
of
the
city
as
well.
For
this
purpose,
we
divide
the
site
into
two
major
functions
as
residential
and
educational
zone
by
employing
the
River
Torrens
to
separate
the
site
as
a
symbolic
icon
of
the
past,
as
if
Kaurna
community
has
been
arrived
into
the
site.
The
symbolized
river
will
bring
moisture to the dry land with the place for people to jog and enjoy the historical value of the site.
The
function
of
the
site
has
been
contextually
developed
by
the
existing
neighbor.
The
students,
residents,
visitors
and
bikers
around
the
current
site
are
considered
together
as
user
groups.
In
order
to
enhance
its
basic
users’
need,
we
employed
the
voices
of
public
from
the
strategy
survey
of
the
inner
Adelaide
report
to
develop
the
programs
of
the
site,
those
of
which
are
small
bars,
shopping
booths,
sky
view
restaurant,
and
comfortable
street furniture.
Through
its
expression
of
the
functional
and
symbolic
design
development,
we
believe
that
its
emotional
realm
of
the
past
and
its
natural
uniqueness
of
the
current
buildings
functions
will
be
rewarded
well
educationally
and
socially bringing attention to people.
The summary of the design strategy
1.
A
civic
and
cultural
place:
Public
Square
is
important
aspect
at
this
RAHsite
as
the
civic
&
cultural
hub
in
the
region.
Our
design
has
been
driven
by
creation
of
the
multi-functional
square
which
will
be
used
for
‘Movie
Night’,
‘Skating
&
Jogging’,
‘Farmers’
Market
&
Events’,
and
‘Concert
&
Festival’.
People
will
watch
movie
and
other
events
in
the
square
and
even
from
the
Hotel
guests’
rooms.
These
basic
functions
will
enhance
the
civic
and
cultural
experience
of
Adelaide
to
visitors
as
well
as
residents
in
the
town.
Thus,
the
square
will
provide a place for university students for skate, concert, basketball, badminton etc.
2.
Best
practice
in
sustainable
design:
The
RAHsite
has
been
designed
with
sunken
restaurants
and
shops
with
open
court
yard
in
the
Lower
Square
for
less
energy
consumption
during
life
cycle
of
the
building.
The
Podium
Link
of
the
museum
and
attached
common
area
(Sub-core)
will
reduce
the
heat
transmittance
to
the
building
by
green
roof
system,
and
they
will
collect
water
to
reuse
for
irrigation.
Moreover,
overall
site
disturbance
for
construction
is
minimized
by
its
design
scope
optimized
to
maintain
existing
condition.
Apart
from
these
aspects,
the
proposal
suggest
convenient
approaches
for
bus
riders
and
bikers
by
limiting
private
car access to the site and providing shower booths, bicycle parking, and bars, restaurants, etc.
3.
Enhanced
connectivity
to
the
City
and
its
context:
In
addition
to
the
museum
by
adaptive
reuse
of
the
heritage
buildings
for
the
community,
the
open
squares
will
bring
people
from
the
south
and
the
west
through
its
open
landscape
with
mosaic
patterned
floor
and
attract
students
for
sports.
Approaches
from
the
east
of
the
Park
Land
will
bring
bikers
to
enjoy
the
public
shower
booths.
Thus,
Sky
Lounge
at
the
hotel
will
give
those
people
the
view
of
the
city
and
Botanic
Garden
with
a
cup
of
coffee.
By
these
functions,
the
new
site enhances the uses with its context for residents, students and visitors.
4.
Public
open
space
as
an
extension
of
the
Park
Lands:
In
order
to
create
different
realm
of
open
space,
the
main
approach
from
the
east
where
the
Park
Lands
located
closely
is
used
as
a
catalyst
to
connect
to
another
set
of
nature.
Our
design
intended
to
provide
a
resting
place
to
the
majority
of
people
from
the
Park
Land
believing
that
they
will
need
a
breeze
to
take
a
rest.
By
the
moment
they
enter
the
open
area
through
the
hotel
podium
link
above,
they
will
find
two
enormous
squares
open
to
their
sight
with
the
minimized
river
Torrens and various choices of beverages, food or coffee to select.
5.
Respect
for
the
Site’s
cultural
and
built
heritage
through
adaptive
reuse
&
innovative
new
uses
:
The
existing
architecture
pertaining
to
the
culture
and
the
history
of
the
city
is
mainly
preserved
in
our
proposal.
The
functional
program
of
the
site
is
respectfully
developed
to
improve
uses
of
the
heritage
by
the
Podium
Link
with
gallery
area
which
connects
to
the
Lower
Square.
The
gallery
itself
is
to
link
separate
museum
functions
such
as
History
of
Hospital,
History
of
Kaurna
Community,
and
Before
&
After
European
settlement.
The
basement
link
also
leads
people
to
the
Lower
Square
which
is
symbolically
employing
Indigenous
art
from
Kaurna
community
such
as
floor
patterns,
patterned
shop
façade,
and
nature
contour
form
of
the
podium
link.
People
who
visited
the
museum
will
exit
the
podium
link
with
a
great
amaze,
once
they
realize
the
new
development is expressed in another architectural language in the public area.
6.
An
economically
viable
proposal
that
supports
the
East
End
Precinct,
the
City
of
Adelaide
and
South
Australia:
For
the
viable
development,
our
design
proposes
additional
students
housing
and
history
&
heritage
research
center
for
the
university
and
the
renovated
hotel
development
with
podium
link,
shops,
bars
and
restaurants.
Moreover,
the
hotel
will
attract
the
alumni
and
students
family
members
for
their
convenient
access
to
the
events
at
the
university
and
other
visitors
in
the
city.
It
will
be
conducive
to
bring
private
developers
to
initiate
the
investment.
In
addition,
the
new
design
proposes
two
divided,
yet
interconnected
squares
for
construction
phase
convenience
by
times.
It
will
help
phasing
schedule
of
the
project by minimizing site disturbance from each construction period.
7.
Exploration
of
the
relationship
with
the
adjacent
cultural
precinct
and
university
campus
:
In
respect
of
the
proposed
museum,
the
university
of
Adelaide
will
be
benefited
for
their
research
center
of
the
history
and
heritage
to
be
moved
for
an
expansion
closely
to
its
new
museum
building.
It
will
help
the
research
by
its
proximity
and
presentable
opportunities.
Moreover,
in
correspondence
to
the
increase
of
the
number
of
the
student
of
the
university,
additional
housing
is
proposed
as
well.
These
functions
will
relate
the
neighbours
to the RAHsite.

The
students,
residents,

and
bikers
around
the

are
considered
together
as
user
groups.
In
order
to
enhance
its

The summary of the design strategy
1.
A
civic
and
cultural
place:
Public
Square
is
important
aspect
at
this
RAHsite
as
the
civic
&
cultural
hub
in
the
region.
Our
design
has
been
driven
by
creation
of
the
multi-functional
square
which
will
be
used
for
‘Movie
Night’,
‘Skating
&
Jogging’,
‘Farmers’
Market
&
Events’,
and
‘Concert
&
Festival’.
People
will
watch
movie
and
other
events
in
the
square
and
even
from
the
Hotel
guests’
rooms.
These
basic
functions
will
enhance
the
civic
and
cultural
experience
of
Adelaide
to
visitors
as
well
as
residents
in
the
town.
Thus,
the
square
will
provide
a
place
for
university
students
for
skate,
concert,
basketball, badminton etc.
2.
Best
practice
in
sustainable
design:
The
RAHsite
has
been
designed
with
sunken
restaurants
and
shops
with
open
court
yard
in
the
Lower
Square
for
less
energy
consumption
during
life
cycle
of
the
building.
The
Podium
Link
of
the
museum
and
attached
common
area
(Sub-core)
will
reduce
the
heat
transmittance
to
the
building
by
green
roof
system,
and
they
will
collect
water
to
reuse
for
irrigation.
Moreover,
overall
site
disturbance
for
construction
is
minimized
by
its
design
scope
optimized
to
maintain
existing
condition.
Apart
from
these
aspects,
the
proposal
suggest
convenient
approaches
for
bus
riders
and
bikers
by
limiting
private
car
access
to
the
site
and
providing
shower
booths,
bicycle parking, and bars, restaurants, etc.
3.
Enhanced
connectivity
to
the
City
and
its
context:
In
addition
to
the
museum
by
adaptive
reuse
of
the
heritage
buildings
for
the
community,
the
open
squares
will
bring
people
from
the
south
and
the
west
through
its
open
landscape
with
mosaic
patterned
floor
and
attract
students
for
sports.
Approaches
from
the
east
of
the
Park
Land
will
bring
bikers
to
enjoy
the
public
shower
booths.
Thus,
Sky
Lounge
at
the
hotel
will
give
those
people
the
view
of
the
city
and
Botanic
Garden
with
a
cup
of
coffee.
By
these
functions,
the
new
site
enhances
the
uses
with
its
context
for
residents,
students
and
visitors.
4.
Public
open
space
as
an
extension
of
the
Park
Lands:
In
order
to
create
different
realm
of
open
space,
the
main
approach
from
the
east
where
the
Park
Lands
located
closely
is
used
as
a
catalyst
to
connect
to
another
set
of
nature.
Our
design
intended
to
provide
a
resting
place
to
the
majority
of
people
from
the
Park
Land
believing
that
they
will
need
a

By
the

they
enter
the

through
the
hotel

they
will
find
two
enormous
squares
open
to
their
sight
with
the
minimized
river
Torrens
and
various
choices
of
beverages, food or coffee to select.
5.
Respect
for
the
Site’s
cultural
and
built
heritage
through
adaptive
reuse
&
innovative
new
uses
:
The
existing
architecture
pertaining
to
the
culture
and
the
history
of
the
city
is
mainly
preserved
in
our
proposal.
The
functional
program
of
the
site
is
respectfully
developed
to
improve
uses
of
the
heritage
by
the
Podium
Link
with
gallery
area
which
connects
to
the
Lower
Square.
The
gallery
itself
is
to
link
separate
museum
functions
such
as
History
of
Hospital,
History
of
Kaurna
Community,
and
Before
&
After
European
settlement.
The
basement
link
also
leads
people
to
the
Lower
Square
which
is
symbolically
employing
Indigenous
art
from
Kaurna
community
such
as
floor
patterns,
patterned
shop
façade,
and
nature
contour
form
of
the
podium
link.
People
who
visited
the
museum
will
exit
the
podium
link
with
a
great
amaze,
once
they
realize
the
new
development
is
expressed
in
another
architectural
language
in the public area.
6.
An
economically
viable
proposal
that
supports
the
East
End
Precinct,
the
City
of
Adelaide
and
South
Australia:
For
the
viable
development,
our
design
proposes
additional
students
housing
and
history
&
heritage
research
center
for
the
university
and
the
renovated
hotel
development
with
podium
link,
shops,
bars
and
restaurants.
Moreover,
the
hotel
will
attract
the
alumni
and
students
family
members
for
their
convenient
access
to
the
events
at
the
university
and
other
visitors
in
the
city.
It
will
be
conducive
to
bring
private
developers
to
initiate
the
investment.
In
addition,
the
new
design
proposes
two
divided,
yet
interconnected
squares
for
construction
phase
convenience
by
times.
It
will
help
phasing
schedule
of
the
project
by
minimizing
site
disturbance
from
each construction period.
7.
Exploration
of
the
relationship
with
the
adjacent
cultural
precinct
and
university
campus
:
In
respect
of
the
proposed
museum,
the
university
of
Adelaide
will
be
benefited
for
their
research
center
of
the
history
and
heritage
to
be
moved
for
an
expansion
closely
to
its
new
museum
building.
It
will
help
the
research
by
its
proximity
and
presentable
opportunities.
Moreover,
in
correspondence
to
the
increase
of
the
number
of
the
student
of
the
university,
additional
housing
is
proposed
as
well.
These
functions
will
relate
the
neighbours
to
the
RAHsite.
