CONCEPT

THE DUT DESIGN SCHOOL CALLS FOR AN ENVIRONMENT THAT

WILL INSPIRE ONE TO GENERATE GOOD ASTHETICS AND DESIGN
PRINCIPALS IN THEIR OWN DESIGNS. MY THOUGHTS ARE THAT
ONE IS ABLE TO PICK UP DESIGN ELEMENTS BEST BY COMMING
INTO CONTACT WITH THEM. FOR THIS DESIGN I WANTED TO PLAY
WITH CLEAN LINES AS WELL AS GIVE THE BUILDING SOME
INTERESTING CURVILINEAR ELEMENTS THAT WOULD CREATE A
BEAUTIFUL CONTRAST. THE RED COLOUR ON THE WALL ADDS A
PLAYFULNESS TO THE MORE ELEGANT BLACK AND WHITE SHADES
OF THE BUILDING AND THEREFORE IS ABLE TO BRING OUT THE
POSITIVE CONTRASTING ELEMENTS OF THE DESIGN. THE
MARRIAGE OF ALL THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS IN THE DESIGN HELP
CREATE A 'WOW FACTOR' IN RELATION TO THE CONSERVATIVE
TERTIARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES. THIS ARCHITECTURE IS A A
DESIGNED TO FIT IN WITH ITS SURROUNDING BUILDINGS YET STAND OUT
FROM THE REST. I WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BY USING THE
LINEAR PATTERNS FROM THE OTHER BUILDINGS AND INCORPORATING A
SPLASH OF INTERESTING COLOUR AND ADDING WILD ELEMENTS TO THE
