Xinyi Xu 201377019 "SCHOOL OF ROCK" As an important landscape element, rock can be associated with dramatic and natural feelings. This project aims to combine architecture and landscape, creating a unique fjlm school where student could enjoy difgerent learning atmosphere.
The project use "rocky cave" as a design approach. I try to integrate architecture and landscape to create a unique fjlm school where student could enjoy difgerent experience.
SITE RESPONSE The width and height change of the canal provide an approach to design the outdoor space. Rock staircase and ramp highlight the entrance, and a low of trees create a closed room which is for outdoor activities. In order to design a natural and clude style, the stone shaped tables and chairs are decotated as part of the landscape design. Another aspect is the accessibility. Because the north and south view have different characteristics of viewing, the paths on each side are for different use: south is for visitors and people could enjoy the great view of canal, north one is for cars, and the right path is mainly for workshop material transport . North view South view
CONCEPTIAL DRIVER The idea of concept comes from the atmosphere of the site. The site is a little bit desolate and pristine, and the arch under the railway remains a feeling of “rocky cave". Therefore I use the siimilar features to design both exterior and interior space, creating a dramatic atmosphere for fjlm school. Rock facade “Cave room” Rocky theater Lightwell

KEY SPACE - LECTURE THEA TRE People attend lecture in the stone theater, feeling the dramatic atmosphere of light and shadow.
KEY SPACE - LECTURE THEA TRE According to the principle of difguse and specular refmection of sound, the voice of lecturers is reflected through the irregular stone ceiling and transmitted to the audience. Due to the roughness of the stone surface, sound can be transmitted to all corners of the space through multiple reflections, to achieve the acoustical sensation of being enveloped by the sound.
The audiences might imagine themselves in a natural rocky cave, where the speaker's voice echoing ofg the rocks.

SUST AINABLE STRA TEGY 1. The stone facade provides a channel for air circulation . Cold air enters through the double skin glass facade and windows, circulating throughout the space. Rising hot air Green roof emit through the lightwell, courtyard and green roof. 2. Green roof plays a signifjcant role in temperature control, water storage and low carbon emissions. 3. Glass facade maximizes the use of natural lighting. Courtyard Lightwell 4. Water resources of the canal are converted into other energy for electricity generation and heating. Air Circulation
