Elevator and Folly

Elevator Platform

My main part of my elevator was to be plain. The whole point of having Architectual Computing is to make things as easy as possible. In relating to engineering students, Arch Computing students need to have some problem solving skills. Simple is best.

Hologram Blockade

The main part of the elevator is the design of the digital blocks around it. These blocks are can be walked through when the platform is still, but are solid when the platform moves, to avoid falling off. They are showing that the digital part of architectural computing is till missing parts due to the slow and recent growth.

The Dean's Stand

 The dean is using the same elevator as the students. Why? Because the dean is still young to this new computing environment engin and needs to have a strong connection with the students. Most universities and schools class their teachers above the students, I belive that there is to be a strong connection between the dean and its students for there to be a top well known school. The dean should be teaching classes and communicating with staff and students evenly.

The stand is the only thing that should separate the students and the dean and that is during the speech before the deans brunch in the folly. After the dean has taken the elevator, the stand will come up from the ground which will allow him to speak in a 360 degrees to communicate to the students emerged in the environment.

Landing platform

The receiving end of the platform is this designed platform, The students who all end up when the elevator arrives can explore the environment. There are no boundaries when the elevator arrives so students can disperse in different directions, where the students finds the most attention to the environment. The platform top also matches the bottom of the building, relating that they should have being attached but have broken off in a digital fashion.

Folly Structure

 The folly design is quite interesting. The design looks like "C" but is instead the letter "F" without the end tail. This design is to challenge the students to image what the environment could look like without limitations and to let their design grow, even when told wrong by others. It is placed between the landing platform and the pool of water.
