WIP MODELLING UNIT IN DETAIL
Making a detailed 3d model of one unit which I am going to print in parts and assemble.
The first screenshot shows the structure, placed on the least visible sides (facing circulation core and changing rooms above.
The next screen shot shows the structure sanwiched between slumped glass panels. The void created by the pillowed glass will be filled with steam to create opacity and obscure the view of the structure.
The turqouise panel is always exposed to the outside. Thats why the panel is completely clear to allow for constant views out to the city. And as it is not constrained by adjacent units, the acrylic can protrude outwards.
The next screen shot show the boundary walls between the two interlocking pools within the unit. Here the walls are varying thicknesses of water (varying thickness of the void between the rooms is filled with water), creating changing visual relationships and light qualities betwen the two rooms. The water in the thick wall is also the shared balancing tank for both pools, which both gives and takes water , to keep it at a constant level, when lots of people go in or out of the pools.

Here the wall is semi- translucent, with a thin sheet of water in the wall, allowing for interesting light qualities when this wall is exposed.
