Technical Report

Part of the Design, cost and value we had to produce a booklet with construction details of our design work. We almost produced the whole booklet in one day or better in one night. The 1:20 section, which was part of the design and part of the technology module, helped a lot for the production of the report. I hope I didn't repeat the same mistakes. Even the feedback for the section was to think again about the eaves and the insulation strategy. Fortunately, I passed it.


The most crazy was the fact that we had to prepare the exhibition show during this day. I was running to catch up everything.


If we could have more time for the design thesis and the technology report the work would be much better and I could deal and solve more issues.
Anyway, that's it now and I hope to fine.

Submission again

We all failed and we have to work again submitting piece of the work again in 3 days (I have to resubmit the 1:20 section and this blog because the last time I didn't have the time to organise it.So I had only photos without texts and descriptions.)


I feel terible. I am exhausted. I haven't slept for 3 days. I hope this time to be successful. I couldn't stand a failure again. I want to finish. 
once more. The history is repeated. 

Long section 1:100 with better context

Short section 1:100 with context as well

Detail section 1:20

I hope this time I won't have any problem with the section. I don't know more about construction. We never had propoer construction tutorials, so how could I know how to make a correct detail section? 

Almost done.

The printing is almost done and the work finished. I hope this time to be the lucky one.

Exhibition End of the Year Show

We participated in the exhibition show. Fortunately this year is mush more well organised than it was last year.

View of the clinic. The open space in the middle of the clinic, the bridge in the middle which connects the two sides and runs as a waiting area. Whereas under the bridge there is the waiting area for the medical centre and a small and shallow water element.

View of the educational centre. The open yard in the middle with the tubes which bring natural light into the pool (underneath) and stand as artificial trees on this level. Around this there is the wide stairs which leads  from the entrance to the upper level where the rest of the spaces are.

Last interim

The last interim was quite good. The main concern was the playfulness of the building. It should attract more the younf people.

Design process of the plans and the building’s form.

 From the first approach for the plans till almost the final

The main idea at the end was to create a building with 2 different geometries and functions. The first one on the eastern side would be the educational Centre before pregnancy and the support space during the pregnancy. The main geometry here was given by the central wall which gives the impression of a cocooning space ideal for teenagers facing this problem to feel safe. The central court would be the place with the light tubes and it would be in memory of the old, preexisting houses as it will be on top of their traces. The western side of the building would be the Clinical department which again has an open space in the middle and its rectangular geometry represents the sequence and the organization of such a space. It will run as a proper machine. The birth pools and the medical department will be on the ground floor as the drop I showed graphically in the primary collages.

Cooper - how it changes through the years

Cooper is going to be applied on some key surfaces in the building and some on the external facade.
