Shuk's Interim

Main Ideas behind the Escape - Shuk's reminders.
- Escape from overpopulation, finding a quiet space which is yours alone. With little convoluted spaces, one can be
sitting a few meters from another and feel like they are km apart.
- Progression of the public filtering through the different courtyards to the quieter spaces if they wish to study.
- Escaping into the books, computer etc; buildings shaped to become literal expression.
After crit: Will work on learning more on architectural form making now in order to create the spaces in order not to
have such a direct translation of the book form - to better express how i feel that escaping into the mind by
which the other media is just a conduct - how would I create this immaterialness?
- Build up of a shield against unsightly Franklin St entrance by using the carpark as a wall and the main collection
and fiction stacked up against it like a child peeking over the fence - After crit: more analysis of precedents into
urban designs where there is a contrast of built form with empty spaces - how to justify and better elaborate the
empty spaces when space is so scarce on the city?
- In escaping, the ability to peek out - hidden multiple entrances for staff.
- After crit - focus on making the spaces and experiences described and not the book forms itself - do not limit ideas
to such a narrow view of depicting escape into the books.
