stage 3 axonometric projections

The relationship of "Layers" (according to functionality of space)

is shown through the axonometric projections.

BASE - BODY - CANOPY

are layers that constitute a building as a whole.

stage 3 floor plans elevations and sections

Elevations sections and floor plans

The final program is revolved around a more sensible use of ground-lower ground space

so that the previous strict hierarchy amongst space (according to 4 functionality)

had been softened.

Moreover, the social aspect of the functionality had been given more emphasis

as a "Landmark" is a building that is engaging not only visually but functionally as well.

NURBS canopy studies

Canopy design had been the essetial form driving factor in the later steps of the project

the solution needed the canopy to give the building a

- landmark-esque quality while also being

- manageable in scale (that it remains human-scale)

around 18 canopy designs had been devised for this project

and the final canopy design had been chosen for its buildability

and realistic expectations as well as the design simplicity.

model progressions stage 2

The models were used as tools to explore and show the layers of the project.

as developed from scheme stage 1, the project has now progressed into

a complex program segregated by the 4 major functionality

(social/operational/commercial/mechanical).

The layering of functionality proposes to provide the maximum efficiency and enjoyability

to each group entity (be it the staff, the athletes, the occasional visitor)

The canopy layer is to an extension to the idea of landmark and

metaphor to the building's layering of dunctionality.

It had been explored via NURBS modelling schema developed via 3D modelling software.

various canopy designs have been devised. (refer to later posts)
