The selected precedents of Zaha Hadid’s Guangzhou Opera House and

Morphosis’ Cooper Union Building has inspired the design and concept behind the Stream Building.

Hadid and Morphosis apply the form of fragmented or “non uniform” blocks to create distinctive architecture both externally and internally. The design is disoriented in comparison to the strerotypical box shape building. The architectures have steel structures that stream upwards and sideways along the buildings like a net that gives the buildings a sense of fluidity and flow internally. This has been incorporated in Stream externally to emphasis the concept of fluidity. Hence the name of the proposed building.

The Guangzhou Opera House and Cooper Union Building are designed for the use of creativity and education. Taking this into consideration from the influenced architects, Stream has applied both purposes into one with spaces utilised for a library, auditorium, multipurpose spaces and a lounging area on the top floor.

The outdoor exhibition area plays the role of a public auditorium. Ground floor caters for the library, first floor holds a multipurpose vicinity while seconds floor is a lounge area where a potentional restaurant can be opened with the view of the city landscape. Both first and second floor have outdoor stair access.
