I think I've found a solution to my woes. I compressed the program and building into the "tower" that is attached to the existing building thats immediately adjacent to the site. The other "towers" become depressions which are outdoor public areas. The building is accessed by descending a short stair into the depression immediately next to the building...you can see it in the images.
The volumes portruding from the main volume are the work areas that get quieter as you rise. A cafe, and "superloud" work area is at the entrance level. The first portruding volume is a public lecture space/auditorium.
Let me know what you think.
I think the 3rd image (street level perspective) is pretty interesting. It would great if you could 'read' (no pun intended) the program of each box from the street below. In other words, it would cool if the character of the space within the box was evident from the exterior (lighting, materials, etc).
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Matthew...I will definetly explore that. Thanks.
