After the final tutorial with Scobie Alvis, I thought the problem of getting light into the rooms can be solved with a perforated skin. The pattern is informed by the previous opennings I have decided and the structural analysis done in SAP software.
The structural system of the building works similar to the Phaeno Center of Zaha Hadid. The slabs span between the two sides of the structural skin.
Having the skin run through the middle of the floor clearly blocks the view of a 1.70 person. I would like to have a some of these opennings translucent just like the hotel rooms we've experienced in Japan; when the window becomes only a element of the building to let the daylight in, not act as an opening to view through.
The facade sinks into the building in this one, and the floors attached to the skin are not independent from this skin, the skin becomes "the edge" as it gets a volume through inner surface.
Rooms are sometimes hanging from this skin and at some point this skin extrudes to become the lift...

Hi Aras- looking interesting. How do the internal and external skins differ in terms of light requirements, perforations, materiality etc. This may be an interesting line of inquiry to develop both the spatial and technical ambition. Maybe physical models can be developed to study light qualities and give feedback to the structural analysis. Thanks for posting
Interesting work Aras! Looking forward to your next design development.
