I have heard that there is to be a Graduate School in a few years at UNSW, so this is the reason behind this redesign of the Vitra Design Museum. The main design of this structure will be based on the protruding forms of the Vitra Design Museum, and will be modified appropriately for the context. This building will stand out from the ones surrounding it as the forms will be unique and memorable. The materials for the building will be mostly natural in order to not deter away from the shapes of the organic forms themselves, and also to address the issue of sustainability of materials, a very real and current issue the world is faced with today.
This new building will stand around 50 metres in height and will have 4 main spaces above the ground. These will all be accessible through separate spiral staircases. There is also a space below ground that is not visible but is accessible through a spiral staircase in a hole in the ground, leading from the grass area below the other forms of the building. Because of the lack of elevators, and the fact that the spaces can easily get all their light through large windows that are spread generously through each space above ground, the building is self-sufficient and environmentally friendly.
