Kengo Kuma reveals plans for curving timber-wrapped tower in Sydney's Darling Harbour

Ribbons of light-coloured wood will wrap the curving building known as The Darling Exchange in an "organic and spontaneous manner" according to Kuma.

Its six curving floorplates will be shifted off centre, and walkways are angled to create a spiralling form – not dissimilar to the design developed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron for a new college at the University of Oxford.

Coffee bar

The opened coffee bar can infuse to the building easily and looks more freedom and easy going
It is a good place for brake and chatting.

Computing lab

Elevated computing lab inspired bay Kengo Kuma's building. The space can enhance more students.

Full developed environment

The architecture school was based on the dynamic concept. The turning curve can create a moving and continuous feeling and the up and down space design also can present the dynamic feeling

CONCEPT

LIVING ARCHITECT - WANG SHUCONCEPTS

Immersed - FORM IMMERSED INTO THE SITE - The environment has a strong feelings to make the building completely involved in it which looks like something immersed into the water

DEAD ARCHITECT - HARRY SEIDLER CONCEPT

Capsule - TIME CAPSULE IN SECRETE SITE - The whole building is hidden in the forest and be wreathed by the trees.

AXONIMETRIC CONCEPT DRAWING

1. History infused in tactile layering

2. Form immersed into the site

3. Natural tactile montage with irregular forms

4. Defined structure wrapped by the site

5. Framed views from figure / ground

6. Time capsule in secrete site

Lumion Rendering

Combination

1. History infused in tactile layering + Form immersed into the site

2.Form immersed into the site + Time capsule in secrete site

Texture

This texture can represent the dark. The masses of laying lines which have shown in this texture, are inspired by Shu Wang’s work in Ning Bo, China. The parallel lines represent the history, and the other bias can represent the tactile feelings.

This texture can represent the medium. The combination of the black and white can represent the “figure and ground” which also shown in Shu Wang’s work in Ning Bo, china. The zigzag lines can show the tactile feelings as well.

This texture can represent the light. Not too many lines and elements. But show a concept of wrapping by Harry Seidler’s house. The concept of capsule is shown by this texture as well.
