'This is it'
Everything IS coming together, and the following IS making sense(!). I'm going to push through to have some clear drawings for tomorrows tut, but have included an evolution (5 iterations) of the top floor plan so far. It very much COMBINES all my previous studies and therefore isn't just another variation - promise!
Taking the blockwork pattern I had a few weeks back and the branching variation just before, I've combined the two with elements of the other ideas to produce something which is uber simple, and gets rid of any unnecessary curved geometry that really isn't helping for the moment. The following variations are a top floor plan, showing with varying scales the 5 different forums. As a whole the building has 5 floors (5 forums). You gain access to each in a pinwheel motion from the previous larger forum from the floor below via a ramp - there will be no lifts, because I'm promoting chance interactions between forums as well as in them. The way the light wells are positioned, they also define varying sizes of closed forums on each floor below. So the ground floor which holds the largest Parkorum, will have various closed forums on the same level surrounding it.
This text is confusing I know. I think it's better if I just get on with the drawings....
First attempt of the 5th floor plan (I begin from the top and work down for now) - this one has far too many light wells (void symbol) for programme to occur freely below.
Attempt 2; I've nested the upper forums together to remove a number of the light wells. It's a denser plan, but access between the living and seminar forums are not overlapping, so they need to be shifted with one another to ensure this occurs.
Type Three; below, the light wells are relatively small and don't vary in size towards the lower levels.
Next, too many light wells have been added between the forums, so have removed a few by increasing the amount I nest the forums.
Below is the final variation for now - still not perfect, but I'll draw a more detailed plan for each of the five floors for tomorrow and aim to get it onto rhino to help clarify everything... Sorry - there's a few baby steps in my head waiting to spill out onto paper!
