Floor PLANS

Here are the alternate floor plans for the travelling Hub. Each plug in is inserted into the same area off the central hub and supports the services provided from it.

Indigenous Health Plug-in

The indigenous health plug-in is aimed at improving health facilitates within rural and indigenous communities throughout Australia. The plug-in design is relatively open allowing for visual contact with the environment from most aspects of using the structure, creating a more comforting environment for users. 

 

Environmental Education Plug-in

The Environmental Education Hub provides a lecture area that supports the political education and governmental initiatives. It is aimes to provide and open environment that people can come and voice their opinion or learn from others opinions.

 Overall Zoning of the Hub

The overall zoning of the Hub shows where the public areas are highlighted in yellow, plug-in services in purple, central services hub in red, soap box shown in blue, and finally the main entrance shown in green.

 

Open, Folding, Expanding

Indigenous Health Hub hydraulic struts lift open sides to create shade awning on roof for hot conditions in outback Australia. 

 

Central service Hub flooring slides out long ways by way of manual labor, with the side wall and flooring opens by the use of hydraulic struts.   

 

Soap Box sides open to allow for manual labor construction of the frame for the system by minimal skilled laborers.

Programming

Looking into the spatial layout of services required for certain hubs.

In particular the top two are looking at the indigenous health hub and the requirements for consult rooms,  wheel chair access and toilet facilities.  

The last sketch is looking at the Environmental Education health plug-in and the lecture area and exhibition spaces within the hub. 

The Travelling Side Show

Politicians are often seen arguing with one another and could be seen to be carrying on like clowns, seemingly reminiscent of a circus. The hubs could be seen as a travelling side show, one that pulls up, unfolds, conducts business, and then leaves as fast as it came.

  The travelling side show concept.

The hubs need to fit within the existing size constraints of a shipping container to be able to move on the road or by rail. Therefore I need to consider how these hubs will unfold and fit inside of themselves, and importantly how they will expand with minimal need of man power.
