North elevation perspective displaying the station entrance and proposed public open space. 

_ Finalising design

Artlantis site plan image to be used on maybe google earth image to show proposal context.

External perspective revealing the 'glow' of the station.
Internal perspective showing ticket barriers and access up to platform 2 and 3.
Top perspective of the form of platform 4 and 5. A successful image but not to be used.

_ development work for sheets

Initial development sketches to be included on final presentation.

_developing scheme

Developing the final design scheme, illustrated here in 3D format of potential images and perspectives.

Site perspective revealing the whole building form.

_ 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.

_flow scheme

This scheme looks at an earlier concept and sketching of mapping the specific flows on people such as passenger flow to platform, staff movements, pedestrian flow through the building as shown in the sketch below.

The images below are a selection of massing models which illustrate the mapped flow through, around, over and under the raised railway tracks. Each colour represents a space and flow that combine to form the station.Orange- platform areas, Yellow and Blue passenger movement to green- staff areas.  



These images show the potential forms and spaces created when glass walls are introduced to depict the areas. They also illustrate raised platforms and the relationships to the surrounding context.

_ sketch development scheme

An early model exploring the potential concept of a wave generated from the Brayford Pool that is located close to the train lines. The model explores the different speeds of waves and the numerous layers to provide the levels, spaces and canopies for the building.

I am pleased with how the images have been processed but I feel the form and layout need alot more development work.

The images also explore potential forms of how to support the raised train lines and how to link it with the station itself. 

_ Raising the Tracks

An aspect of my proposal will incorporate the raising of the railway lines by 3/4 meters. As the images below highlight the train lines cause two points at busy points along the main High Street and close to the university to have level crossings. This causes traffic and pedestrian congestion when the level crossing are activated, which are often take long waits for the large crate trains to pass. 

By lifting the lines it will free up these two areas and aid the flow of the city between the north and south districts of the city.

This aspect will provide a significant element to my scheme in design terms and how the project will have a positive impact of the city by allowing better movement around the city as highlighted in the Enquiry by design study of the city. 

_ ANALYSIS

Yellow lines illustrate pedestrian movement around and to pink highlighted the train station from surrounding areas such as the High Street. The purple nodes indicate waiting areas and build up spots of pedestrians which all have implementing factors on the movement to the train station. The blue elements indicate the busy traffic routes around the station site and also access the train station site. The red flows show the train movements through the area and how they cross other flows of movement to cause disrupted areas. 

_ SITE MAP

_ THE SITE

EXTERNAL BUILDING IMAGES_ illustrating the buildings which make up Lincoln Central Station.

INTERNAL BUILDING IMAGES_ illustrating the areas which make up the internal elements of Lincoln Central Station. The areas such as platforms and the entrance foyer are revealed here, highlighting the tired architectural spaces of the building.

the city_ LINCOLN

Uphill District _ of the city. The image below illustrates some key landmarks of the area such as the cities cathedral and the 2006 Collection Museum by Panter Hudspith Architects. The panoramic image at the bottom is taken from the cities castle and highlights the cathedral located in the Uphill District in contrast to the train station in the Downhill District.

Downhill District _ of the city. The image illustrates key areas within the district such as the Brayford Pool, University buildings and the commercial high street. 

The quarters of the city _ the city is made up from a series of quarters that are highlighted in the image below. The Cultural and Historical quarter (RED) is located at the highest point of the city in the Uphill district. It consists of the oldest part of the city with landmarks such as Lincoln castle and Cathedral, which is a dominant focal point above the city. The High Street quarter (YELLOW) is the commercial and modern retail area of the city in the Downhill district and is linked to the Uphill district via Steep Hill. The Brayford Water Front quarter (BLUE) is a contemporary area of the city built up of bars and restaurants that over looks a natural lake formed on the River Witham. The final section is the University quarter (PURPLE) that occupies the cities university district that also over look the Brayford Lake and continue along the River Witham to the West of the city. It is a growing section of the city that has been builds from scratch as well as converting disused railway buildings to form the university campus.

Below is a rough section drawing  of the cities quarters . .  .
