DESA1002 'Continuous City' Tuyen Ngoc Thi Nguyen

Abstract

My idea about designing a night club comes from the context of Paris: the site context, the historical context and cultural context. First, I want to create something special for the area near the main square, which is the centre of entertainment and culture at Paris. Secondly, I want to create a dynamic, young, exciting and night life building which opposite which historical, old and classic buildings at Paris. From the reason, I finally chose to design night club with can combine all of my ideas above. To design this building, I chose an egg shape building. There are two reasons why I chose this shape, first my inspiration comes from one of building deigned my Zaha Hadid, the Centre of Performing Art, Dubai, secondly eggs present for the start of new thing, new beginning, which go really well with the youth theme of my building and my group. People can enter to this club either from Place Vendome Square or street nearby. My building has one floor under ground and two floors above the ground. There will be car park and storage, kitchen, laundry and staff rooms in the underground level; welcome hall , main dance floor, bar and drinking area in the ground level and another bar and seating area are the main program in the level 1. To create the modern looking for this building, I use steel frame as the main structure to support the whole building and glass sheets and steel sheets s the material to cladding the façade.
