Blog Catchup








































applying a series of service walls into my system from which elements can be attached onto, as well as shift from one to another.. over time a buildup of components & programmes can occur depending on demand and density required.  A similar language in the system can be found fairly constant throughout the varying density stages.



































Other ways of considering the structure in my system:
























Below: considering the section of the building in a similar way to the treatment of the plan - shifts - where the floor levels and usage exchange spaces -

A tetris-esk interlocking system occurs due to the shifts and buckles in plan and section:



below: considering open public (green) space and dense urban spaces.  A break within the urban density will allow main passages through the system to meet with neighbouring plots.
  

Below: considering a layer of public route into the system, uniting the mass with the ground plane.
  
Below: experiments with a new material - exploring the conditions of the ground and possible urban mass on the east side of the plot - a buffer zone to the plot to the neighbouring plot;
 
 
 

Below:  Intergration of this into the larger urban field:
 




 
 


above:  A green pedestrian route along the plot - connecting to anouther possible route in the neighbouring plot to the north, allowing porousity through the wider site as a whole.  The buildings become more disperse and intergrated into an undulating/shifting landscape to the right, aiding the transition to a new system within the plot to the east.  To the west (left) on the plot the route continues to the river edge.
