_ 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.
