In this phase, we are designing the building as additional to the exist case study from phase 1,
an additional part or recreate the case study building itself by using some of the key elements from our case study. Which I decided to design an additional building to the Carpenter Center(my case study building).

DNA extracted from Carpenter Center :
- The idea of using the ramp as the main meaning of the building.
- 5 points of architecture.
- The building consist of two main parts.

These are my case study model of the site, which includes the case study building, Carpenter Center
the left bottom one in the first picture and on the right is where I will place my designed building
on, so basically I will place my building right across the street near my case study building, because
in my building as an additional building it consist of programs which related to the Carpenter Center.
Just saying, my building in these pictures are only the first design of it not the final one.

These are my hand drawings of the final design of my building, In the first picture is the plans and sections in A1
size, and in the second picture is the site plan in A2 size. The whole idea of my building is by using the key elements
from the Carpenter Center, I try to design the building with the programs in related to the case study. I separate my building into two main parts, the first part is designing on the key word of 'twist' but slowly from the foundation as first floor, second floor then starts the turn on third floor to match the north light then I twist the forth and fifth floor some more to create the interaction and overhanging space, This part is where students, teachers, and staffs will be using which consist of several programs such as the working space like Studios, Activity public area, the Rooftop garden, the Fabrication lab and the painting and sprays area, also the researching parts like the Computer room, and the Library. Also there are storage room for students to store their models and the actual store which will sell materials for students, in addition I add the garage space for easier in travelling purpose also it does connect with the street, take that as consideration as the idea comes from the villa savoye, from the same architect. The second part of the building is the ramp part which the initial idea is the 'Ribbon Ramp' which is the term I use to describe this idea. It is basically I using the ramp to wrapping around and going inside the main building. After a lot of thinking I merge the idea of having several things occurs along the ramp and the result is I create a journey path along this 'Ribbon Ramp', so first(using the plans for more understanding!) starts off from the first floor from the lobby. In this part the ramp act as the exhibition space which shows the work from students having the glass wall allowing natural light to illuminating the space, along the path to the east of the building brise-soleil added instead of glass wall to prevent direct sunlight. Passing the turn into the second floor the ramp penetrate through the building both side of the ramp is glass walls allowing the guest to observe the programs inside the building, in addition the photo shooting room's wall is black film to create the flashing effect just to make things a little bit more interesting and also telling what is going on inside the room. Now on the turn again with one side glass wall to the west side of the building it allow the guest to see outside the building to the street and also seeing the Carpenter Center from the third floor height, passing the turn into the third floor, this space is sharing between the guest and students, it is the storage room also act as the exhibition space create interaction between students and guests, Now the ramp will leading to the fifth floor passing through the forth floor with glass wall on both side allowing guests to observing through, when reaching the fifth floor it also reaching the combination of shape circle and rectangle, the circle part is where the ramp is and due to the twisted floor it allows the guests to look down on to the rooftop garden on forth floor seeing students working, walking and several activities going on. after that to the ending of the journey where the ramp will bring the guests to the first floor, going through the spiral cylinder ramp from fifth to forth floor into allow another observing of the program then create interaction with students on the rooftop garden crossing it to another spiral cylinder ramp with whole glass wall envelope allowing guests to looking around as they are going down to the lobby, the starting point of the journey on first floor.
This is the perspective of the outside view of my building.
This is the perspective of the fabrication lab on first floor.
This is the perspective of the ramp on the first floor as mentioned above.
This is the perspective of the second floor hallway and the ramp which bisect and penetrate through the building.
This is the perspective showing the interaction between fifth floor ramp path and the forth floor rooftop garden.
These are pictures of my final model siting on the site, the model is able to deconstruct to show the interior of each floor.
