thesis reiteration
in preparation of/for the -current- scheme situation, this is a summary of the ideas behind the spatiality of the terminal...
-avoiding dis-orientation
Large buildings, especially infrastructural nodes such as airports, stations etc, tend to have a quality of dis-orientation
The spatiality of the terminal allows users to orientate themselves inside the building.
-in terms of design this is acheived by:
............the topographical design of the floor planes
............variations in ceiling heights according to user flow and program
............strip organisation of the program
............the fluid relationship of users to the outside
-in terms of structure and materiality this is acheived by
.................... selective visibiliy of the structural grid
.....................density and emphasised direction of the visible structure
.....................materiality (transparent/opaque/lighting)
the image below is the rough 3d sketch model view from the lobby to the cruise deck- the problem with it is the lack of structure and materiality.... (in progress)
