The vertical datum is a second-year architecture school conceptual project that tackles the question of vertical movement through space in a building, manifesting in the form of a tower. Due to the programmatic requirements of a prosthetics clinic, the imperative for seamless communication, accessibility, and adaptability within the allocated spaces arises. In addition to facilitating advancements in prosthetic development, these envisioned spaces are intended to cater to the career progression of musicians. The project's evolution involved an on-site visit to a local prosthetics clinic to glean insights from the personnel.
The primary space serves as a dedicated zone for prosthetic development. A subtle variation in floor elevations has been implemented to facilitate the examination of patients, mitigating the need for constant stooping. Abundant natural light has been incorporated to ensure optimal clarity during examinations. This space is seamlessly interconnected with a pair of adjoining areas to foster effortless communication.
Above the aforementioned examination space, two distinct areas have been conceived to cater to the needs of musicians. The lowermost area serves as a practice room, featuring a raised platform and ample natural light to facilitate unobstructed observation. Conversely, the adjacent meeting room affords a greater degree of enclosure, offering a heightened sense of privacy and tranquility.
Virtual Reality (VR) space was imagined at the very top of the building. This immersive environment allows for a virtual musical experience, introducing a visual dimension to the overall encounter.
The project's inception entailed the creation of a mapping scheme, inspired by the cinematic work "2001: A Space Odyssey," which resulted in a visual depiction of the movie's timeline. This mapping elucidates the relationship between humans and their surroundings, with the utilization of yellow hues to denote the human presence in the film and various textures representing the environmental context.
