EXP3: APPLIED TEXTURES IN LUMION

The textures that have been applied to the design of the School and Bridge, signify the different ranges and notions of movement. The textures act to direct visitors from the entrance on the Lower Bridge, through the school and to the exit at the Upper Bridge. The linework of the applied textures provide an indication of intended circulation through the structure, whilst the colour and depth of each applied texture signifies its location within the building; where from entry to exit, the texture becomes lighter in colour.

The texture applied to the Upper Bridge projects converging, scalar lines. The texture directs visitors to the end of the bridge and therefore towards the end of the valley.

The texture of the Lower Bridge displays slanted lines which represent arrows directing visitors to the viewpoints located on the ends of the bridge. The texture of the stairs are stepped, symbolising step-by-step linear motion into the interior of the school.

The interior circulation of the school is textured with an Intertwined texture, symbolising the connection of ramps and stairways within the centre of the building. The colour of the texture gets lighter following ascension, conveying a reduction in distance towards the end of the bridge.
