PROGRESS

This is where everything starts.

I wanted to split an orbit up into 2 parts. Then twist them together shown in the picture above. Each end of the orbit line forms a platform, one for observation and the other one for documentation.

and it also shows some initial ideas, such as the observation space having light coming from above and the documentation space having light coming from below.






Then I developed this idea into the forms shown above. The orbit becomes staircase while the two platforms have two different shapes.

However the grandness of the stair is far unnecessary and does not contribute to addressing any internal spatial quality.






Then the circulation has been simplified to a simple ramp connection inbetween the spaces.
And more attention is paid to interior and function.




This drawing is attempting to work out the height of the two spaces.




This is my calculations on contour.



Then I made this on autoCAD, which helps me build up site model.
