Structure of the building
... with strip of edging
... and surface of the future glazing
Looking North
Looking South
Looking East (from park)
Looking West (from water)

Before I make plans more detailed, and integrate surrounding area into the overall feel, I want to figure out new skin of the building. Its form as organic and plastic as the circulation; it is dipped and raised on the South side more to protect spaces from excessive Sun; it functions as a railing as well.

This investigation is compelling. The direction is far better. Although the perforations are not yet there, something is starting to gel better than the fractured glass skin.
ReplyDeletethe ground interface is not there at all. Go back through your previous interations and look at which ground strategies were more successful. For arguments sake, look at the post Katrina proposals for hurricane-proof residential dwellings. Several arhitects participated...and Brad Pitt was involved (happy googling). There were some incredible grade interface solutions to allow water to drain. Also look at the horribly cliche resorts on stilts in Tahiti and Bora Bora. Although the architecture is unremarkable, there is a quality to a hovering mass over water that you could learn from.
