Section Development

This image was developed in Revit and was used as the base for the development of the final section image. Shown below is another intermediate stage showing another major change from project 2. The change was the result of the 3d image produced in project 2. That image showed the basic form and the multi levels required to connect with the top of the cliff. One of the major features of the current Howard Smith Wharves Site is the sheer cliffs surrounding it and although this building is aimed at creating a ne identity for the site, it is not suppoosed to detract from the natural beauty already evident. It is supposed to enhance the natural features of the site. By stacking the building up the cliff face, you could not longer see the cliffs, therefore inseatd of creating these additional levels as enclosed space, they are now proposed as open space. This will allow the cliff face to still be seen and yet still provide horiztonal platforms for a multitdue of uses from group acitivities such as yoga to family bbq spaces. Protection from sun and rain will still be evident from the level above and the users wil be able to create a special relationship on these levels with the natural cliff face remaining evident. The image below explores this development with columns required to support these horiztonal platforms.
