Day 1 creating place
DESIGN FOR OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Day 1 creating place
What is Interior Design?
• design & construction of functional, safe and aesthetically meaningful interior environments
• enhance the quality of life & culture of the occupants
• custom design or specify furniture, lighting, walls, flooring, colour, materials & graphics
• understanding of technical and theoretical aspects of how people interact with and experience space
DESIGN FOR OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Day 1 creating place
What is Industrial Design?
• creation of products that enhance people’s lives functionally, aesthetically and meaningfully
• understanding of technology/innovation
• understanding of people and society
• understanding of design process
• designing products that are viable to mass manufacture
DESIGN FOR OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Day 1 creating place
What is Architecture?
• the process and product of planning, designing and constructing
• reflects functional, social, and aesthetic considerations.
• the manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light & shadow
• encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing designed spaces
• design activity from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details)
DESIGN FOR OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Day 1 creating place
What is Landscape Architecture & Urban Design?
• combines art and science to create meaningful and enjoyable outdoor places
• responds to the economic, social and environmental interests of communities
• design and planning of projects including: parks/recreational placesbotanic gardenssporting complexesvarious educational, commercial, industrial and residential sites, landscapes associated with major infrastructure systems - roads and railways

What is a library without
books?
State Library of Queensland
• Learning for all
• Queensland memory: for today and tomorrow
• Community connections
“Libraries are social, community and meeting places,
as well as learning centres.”
“The design is all about creating an open space
which, unlike many public buildings of the past, is
neither intimidating nor conventional. I want visitors
to be able to look inside without having to go in.”
Principal Architect, Timothy Hill
Donovan Hill and Peddle Thorp
Challenging the perceptions of ‘place’…
What it was, What it is and What it will be?
UNDERSTANDING THE DESIGN BRIEF
Day 1 creating place
`
The VAST framework
an aid to ‘thinking like a designer’
Addressing a complex problem that has no ‘right
answer’Helping us identify and organise essential
information
ValuesActivitiesSite Technology
a library without books
•a learning space for all• celebrating memory & significance• creating community connection & communication
VALUES
Values
Who will be using the space?
In your groups pretend you each represent
different people living in the community & put
yourself in their shoes.
What are the most important qualities that the
space must have?
What experience do you want to create?
What are some other successful spaces which
Illustrate the experience you want to create?
What are the expectations of privacy, safety?
What might be the aesthetic preferences?
How might this design be organised, what
are the overriding principles?

ACTIVITIES
Day 1 creating place
Activities
In your groups pretend you each represent
different people living in the community & put
yourself in their shoes.
What will be the main activities involved in this
space by these different people?
Will these change in the future?
What are the necessary connections and
groupings between activities?
What technology do you need to provide for
these activities?
How will people get to the site?
What are their transport needs?
SITE
Day 1 creating place
SiteSite analyse might involve the following:
Wind and Rainfall
Natural lighting patterns, window locations
Night lighting patterns (safety)
Sun pathHuman and Cultural conditions
Views from site, to site and through site
Sensory conditions eg.smell
NoisePoints of interest on site and surrounding area
Form and Scale
DESIGN FOR CLIMATE
what is subtropical design?
Well-designed subtropical places :
• promote local character and identity
• have a strong connection between indoors
and outdoors • have openness and permeability
• are ecologically sustainable
• treat water & vegetation as if they really
matter • use very little greenhouse gas producing
energy and precious potable water
• are cost-effective over time
Rule of thumb 3 – air movement and humidityair movement is essential provide cooling paths for breezes by keeping external surfaces shaded or use grass instead of hard materials
DESIGNING FOR CLIMATE
what is subtropical design?
Rule of thumb 1 – temperature control
use elongated or segmented floor plans
isolate heat generating functions
shade outdoor living areas
let the heat escape at highest part of the roof
capitalise on cool night-time temperatures
Rule of thumb 2 – sun control
reduce radiation of heat into covered or
enclosed spaces
control the entry of direct sun
exclude summer sun
welcome warm sunshine in winter
Rule of thumb 3 – air movement and humidityair movement is essential provide cooling paths for breezes by keeping external surfaces shaded or use grass instead of hard materials
TECHNOLOGY
`
Technology
What kind of technology and equipment do we
need to suit the future activities of the
community?What are our resources available?
What services do we need? Should these be
sustainable? Eg water, energy
What local materials can we utilise?
What critical physical insertions do we need to
make in this environment? Eg. Roofs, furniture,
lighting, signage, planting, controls, displays
ACTIVITY
Day 1 creating place
a library without books
Understanding the Design BriefExercise Part A Context & Content - Exploring the VAST framework
•Analyse the Stones Corner library site•Using the VAST framework, brainstorm ideas for the Stones Corner library redevelopment under the four headings of Values, Activities, Site and Technology• do sketches, rubbings and take photos to illustrate some of these ideas. This work will form part of your concept presentation
ACTIVITY
Day 1 creating place
a library without booksCreating PlaceExercise Part B Concept – Generation of Important Ideas
imagining and representing• using text, rubbings, photos & sketches as
a collage develop a concept presentation which illustrates your key ideas
• use the design elements & principles to achieve the desired qualities for the space
• 1 x A4 concept board each for values, activities, site and technology
• 1 x A3 site analysis – highlight key site conditions and design response
• five minute group presentation on Friday discussing the key values, activities, site and technology aspects of your concept
