Final Development
Lecture Theatre
Through making random section cuts into blocks, I was able to create oblique geometry that showcased a certain sleekness to the building. This particular image shows the lecture room that faces Anzac Parade via its floor to ceiling glass windows, thus letting in different shapes of light into the room.

Study Area
The student study areas are located in the highest building and have two floor to ceiling views of Anzac Parade and the UNSW Campus, in order to get to each level, there is a platform which goes from the bottom floor to each level right at the center.

Overall Building
The four buildings are randomly dispersed out yet have some for of conformity to their structure, much like when a brutalist building is demolished. The glass roofs and windows serve to cast different shapes of iridescent light forms into the buildings reducing the use of lighting in the buildings especially during the day time.

Office
The office space, at the top of the building gives a fine view of the surrounding campus and other buildings of the bridge. The roof top light is the main source of light into the room along with the glass windows cut through the side.
