Concrete Dream
When the old library wasn’t the new one yet, hopes were high for this new public space. Birmingham City Library was going to be surrounded by trees, fountains and waterfalls. It would be a place where people could read, learn,

Aluminium Tectonics-Final Model-Alvin Amito
For the final model we chose the scale 1:2 instead of 1:1 because it allowed us to be able to show more of the screen inside the 1:1 frame and how it worked, rather than the full scale model. This

Aluminium Tectonics-Test scale model-Alvin Amito
After creating the mock ups, we made a 1:10 scale model to test out the scheme and the Aluminium. This was an interesting and extremely useful experience as several issues were highlighted such as the type of connections we should

Aluminium Tectonics-Second workshop session-Alvin Amito
At the second workshop session we came up with more solid ideas that were based on the themes of music and motion, incorporating elements from the musical instrument, the piano. We decided on creating a screen that resembled a piano

This week we have presented our proposal of the entrance screen for the new Birmingham Conservatoire. After measuring the opening from a facade elevation provided by the architects of the new building we have decided to create a 1:2 scale model
