_ abstract wave design model

Below are some images of a physical model of the design scheme. It has allowed me to explore the spaces in a more detailed way and gives a better sense of how the scheme looks and interacts.

Above is a quick attempt of illustrating the concept of lighting some or all of the structural elements to make the building a landmark building within the city as well as in the south area of the city.

I am not sure how the photoshop technique has come out but I think gives an idea of what the concept is seeking to achieve.

The main entrance point for the building illustrated at the larger span opening of the structured elements.

View entering from the main High Street allowing entrance to the building as well as a route through to the south of the station. The structural elements continue to form interaction with the pedestrians as well as an element of shelter.

_ abstract wave design

Beginning to start to form the language of my building design. As the images reveal the external facade is broken down by sporadic solid elements and between them is filled by glazed elements. The solid elements will take a structural form as well as including a luminous cladding to contrast with the cities’ illuminated cathedral.



The structure will also affect the internal elements creating a large, light and airy space with interesting shadows being projected into the internal space as the renders reveal.
