6XT (A) PROJECT : DESIGN AN AMPHITHATRE

"IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST GRACIOUS AND THE MOST MERCIFUL"

For the project 6, I would say that this might be the biggest project in this semester. In this project we have to build and design the amphitheater ( for 'live performance' function ) that includes the aspects of site analysis, architectural and interior design, structure and material selection, simple costing, project management, and construction technique. So, that means in a group of 16 members we have to built this amphitheater  and manage this project like in our real life. each group  consist of 7 different major and every member should participate in this project based on their knowledge and ability in certain work. some student in our group are expert in calculation and account, so they handle the quantity surveyor part, some others else expert in gain the information regarding the site analysis but for us , we doing more than that. each member give full responsibilities in this project. we combines our idea in everything, every members are free to gives their idea and I am proud to have them as a team.

for the design, at first stage we all decides to make a simple sketch on the amphitheater. so every one should gives at least one of their ideas on what kind of concept and stage that they wanted it to look like. so we just upload it on facebook and who gets the "like" the most, means that his/her design will be selected. so, i've come out with my design which is

taraaaaaa!!!

BIG NO TO MY DESIGN!! (^_^")

because lots of aspect need to be considered on my stage design, so, as for the result we all together had decide to choose our leader design which the concept was inspired by the Lotus Flower as our final design.

here it is.. tingggg!!!

_ presentation board on each view of the stage_

This design is created from the lotus flower concept with integration of transformation of angular concept. the lotus flower has a lot of meaning to most Asian traditions like India, China and Japan especially. The figure shows that the drawing of our final design. The bud of lotus flower that we can see it from the roof and also the wall shape. there totally have 4 walls inside. Beside, the stage is covered with 3 roof which is lotus flower bud shape, then, the front part of roof side and backdrop have integrated with the concept of transformation of angular which is representative the structure of leaf.

_Site plan_

as for the landscape, me and Najwa planned together to design a green environment and also considerate to the people with disabilities.  we put lots of trees in our design because of two main point, first is because of the amphitheaters location  is placed near to the traffic, so its will effect the sound of the performance and will makes the audience feel uncomfortable. to avoid that, as you can see at the bottom left of the picture, it is a lots of trees have been planted to create the baffle zone for the amphitheater. besides that the trees also can filter up the contaminated air around the place, trees will soak up the polluted air and release the fresh air to the surrounding.
