Im having a hard time in enclosing the building its self. On the above images I have to different enclosure if you can see closely. But by having this it loses the whole shape of the building. Im trying to find another way to close up the building.
Perhaps there are some clues if you go back to some of your original/and even the updated comments. If the theater is at the roof, now think about how the wheather/wind can be dealt with...do they cancel on rainy days...is it a secondary location for fine weather only...or is it an opportunity to float something on the top?
ReplyDeleteRegarding the glazing...perhaps an option to consider, is the enclosure does not go fully to grade. A 'flow-thru' grade (as in grade level is not fully enclosed, if enclosed at all) may give you an opportunity to tie the glazing to the slabs at level two (or more?), and then the transition to the upper plate could be stacked or a gradual curve -or some combination- and exposing your curved gesture at both the bottom and top?
Your glazing could start to 'reveal' areas you want and the introduction of a second materiel (even if part of your curtain wall assembly...spandrel panels could be introduced in any pattern of 'your' design) and could give you some additional opportunities to express what is going on in the interior on the facade(s).
I suggest you play with a couple of quick overlays on the model to figure how to best reveal the form without limiting the function. Getting there is always fun!
Thanks Fairiequeen for the comment, im working on the exterior now, and I will be posting up, its very similar to the old model, I dont want to change it much I really like the shape it has.
ReplyDeleteYes, transparency if very important and I was also thinking of having the curved shape breaking the anvelope.
