Final Submission

Mock Evaluation

 Below are images of the final product. It will become evident that the bridge itself takes the form of a Chinese Dragon. This is because the mythical beast is a significant part of the Chinese culture. They are believed to be rulers over water and weather, a means to get to heaven and also imperial authority. 

The Dragon Head: This is situated at the end of the dragon's body. It is situated upon a floating mountain block and houses the following features; food court, gallery/exhibition space, meeting place for staff, offices for both academic and general staff and lecture theatre.  The Head is modified from Zaha Hadid's Riverside Museum Plan. 

Moving Element 1: One of the moving elements of this architecture school is that one of the walls of the food court opens up, allowing people to venture further out along the dragon's body. This also effortlessly gives a variety of panoramic views of the surrounding environment.

The Dragon Body: The inspiration of a dragon came from waffle structures. The criss-crossing of the components is reminiscent of the scales of a dragon. This photo shows the entirety of the school. The idea is that at night, the entire structure will glow its respective colours, reflecting the night scenery that Hong Kong is famous for.

Folley: A simple photo of the folly

Folley 2: This shows the folly in comparison to the rest of the school as well as the valley. 

Moving Element 2: The second moving element would be the floating mountain blocks itself. It is clear that they are capable of changing their heights as well as direction, as shown with the folly. 

Moving Element 3: A more simple idea for moving elements; escalators.
