Where I stand.


I spent the past week looking at interior spatial organization, as well as a level deeper into the structure. Ultimately these two will be intimately connected. I think its easiest to assume the loads need to be transmitted through three points located at each corner of the base. For this reason, the corners of my shape will have to be more structurally robust. The "infill" structure can be used to define space, or as structure for floor plates. I've include two examples below. As far as the interior space is concerned, the size of the shape is good. If I place floors at a similar interval to Gehry's building the interior would be 30,000 sq. ft. This allows for the removal of 10,000 sq. ft. of floor space presenting the opportunity for multiple volume spaces. The images below present a few option for breaking up the interior with multiple volumes and circulation. I think the next step is pairing down my program and figuring out adjacencies so I can figure out the sequence of spaces.
