more progress...

finally finished the SketchUp model here is another pic

Building Model progress slow

The 3D SketchUp model I am building is taking far longer than expected I have what I want it to look like in my head but its taking a lot of time to get it all out. but here is a progress shot of the model

 the ornamention can be seen on the roof of the buidling it will extend out to the angled protal frame hopefully...

Progress

overcoming my design block i finally got something to come out of my brain...  just a progress shot at the moment, but gives an idea of the internal sturcture, whiile it looks similar to the building that are already there... the ornamentation i have in mind for the exterior of the builing will create a contrast to what is there

 a portal frame design has been chosen  due to the size of the span required and the portals will be glue laminated arches which are able to span these lenghts easily.

Ornamentation

An example of the ornamentation i may use albiet the final will have more layers as this looks rather like the Water cube from Bejing but it gives an idea of what i would like to achive, the blue willl be clear glass and the grey will be aluminium etc.

position for architecture

having trouble coming up with a form for the project, just seem to have block at the moment. but i have got my position pretty much down i think, im looking at the contrast between technology and nature, or what is already there and what will come into the site (the architecture) old and new (what is there and the technolgy)

this postion was infered by the ornamentation i will incorporerate into the design as a part of the theme this motif is a part of another subject looking at similar subject matter and similar connections can been drawn  from this motif to the position i will take on the site...

Rough Spacital Planning
