Description
NEThostel (Final Project, B.Arch, 2007)Location: Glenelg North, Adelaide, Australia
The coastal fringe is under threat.
New private developments overshadow and put in sharp relief the desperate need for this space to remain an open, public tract of land. This proposition explores the viability of a hostel and its impacts upon the fringe, exploring the spatial disparity between the beach and Holdfast Shores.
NEThostel is a nexus for meeting and gathering where once there was none. It is a termination point at the end of the Anzac Highway axis toward Glenelg, reacquainting us with the sea and our ubiquitous relationship with beach culture.
The Anzac Highway axis toward Glenelg can be strengthened by its continuation and eventual termination at the sea.
The form of NEThostel results from the metaphorical concept of fish caught in a net- it bulges and subsides under the influence of a contained writhing mass, a mesh screen blurring the line between the public and private realm.
Composed entirely of straight lines, it nonetheless generates sinuous motion.
Through confrontation with the built urban fabric, NEThostel challenges the impact of overdevelopment in the public realm. It takes back what has been missing; a new depth in spatial typologies that coincides with a transient social experience...

the modules were converted shipping containers - at the time there weren't many projects around that found a new use for them! What's your project? Plenty of references for this kind of thing now

Cool!
Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff, materials, spaces and objects that we can convert in new goods and change into a new urbanism and architecture.
My project was made among some friends to a university discipline; to the Rio de Janeiro's port.
I think there's some images of it in my galleries. I'll show you later if want to see.
Have a Happy New Year, friend

This is great. I like the section the best, very informative. What is the space under the connecting courtyard used for? And your renderings were so good I wish you could turn the brightness back up so we could see them better. I saw someone else comment about the kitchens too, I was thinking it would be more efficient to have community kitchens, like one for every 10 units or something, also safer maybe.
great work. so was this your final project of undergrad? or graduate?

aah, youre very observant! each unit has a kitchen to supplement the two communal kitchen areas on ground level (if you can read the tiny text on the plan! 
Yup, final undergrad project. Ever. woopdedoo!

job... doesnt anyone read my journals anymore?

its not you. . . I never read journals. I don't actually read anything I like pictures.

heh heh, true; that's the upside of having a proper dA account i guess... whenever you update a journal you can put images to it... otherwise i just don't read them either!

on the second thought, each kitchen could be in a roller shutter cupboard and you probably don't need 4 burners and double sinks.
just nit-picking

Good going my friend!
One comment if you don't mind, in the duo - trio you could shift the kitchen away from the bed and combine it with the balcony - indoor - outdoor stuff. That room could have day-bed / folding one in for sitting.
As you may have seen on my page, I love small spaces - tis the future!

Indeed, the kitchen space here is probably a bit exaggerated given the minimal requirements necessary for the occupants' cooking needs! I guess I was just thinking about the plumbing aspect and keeping all the services together when I decided to place the kitchen utilities in the same '

Wow! i've always wanted to compose a board like this but ive always had too much info to cram in. you did it very well!. the renderings turned out amazing! composition is really good. do your professors not mind the small print on your board? i think small print looks nicer some times except none of my professors like it because they always say that cant read it.

Cheers, this was the second layout after our professor Ian 'Dougie' Mcdougall told me to redo it...
Yea, for the text font size I did a test print before sending the poster to be professionally printed; in real life the size is around 11~ this version is 50% of the original size!
Thanks for your feedback!
