Fragment Test 2

Here is my second model experiment for the fragment project. The scale is at 1:3 of the final model I'll be making. The fragment is of the entering and exiting points into the building and the routes that would be taken from the ground floor to the first floor. The final model with have varied openings and closing to obscure and frame views within and out of the building. (This is not shown due to folded paper modeling). This will be done buy laser cutting airply into strips and notching it together in a systematic way. Let me know what you think, as I'm starting to model the final tonight in order to get a spot on the always busy lasercutting machine. Thanks, zach.

Fragment Model

Drawing of the model

This model is to study the network of volume and void structure

Fragment Study / The Ramps

In 1:250 scale this quick fragment model explains the entrance to the public room when it is approached from the Fenchurch Street Station, Trinity Square direction.

While "the Balcony" level is allowing the user to wonder around, the lower walkway is letting a faster flow of people (business and local people) to walk towards their destination in an easier way.

The inbetween levels could be occupied by a gallery and a coffee shop.

By making people cross through the building (magenta coloured path) the user can be attracted to the food / supermarket level on the way home or work just like the way it happens in Tokyu Department Store.

The floorplates are there just to give you an idea about the scale, each floor is 3m distanced from each other and this is a diagram representing the performance of the building. The weird angles that would not let people walk is a temporary condition that should be ignored when these diagrams are read.

From the north, the building would frame the Tower of London, this frame could accommodate a lobby for the hotel and a transparent passage entrance towards the Tower Bridge and Tower of London.
So far I did my best to avoid using colors but to describe the layers of programmes I've been thinking to place in the building, I colour coded the section slices for you.

The light blue is the hotel, purple would be the leisure, restaurants and bars with a view of Tower Bridge and River Thames. Yellow is a gallery space and other public programmes like a food market, coffee place, newspaper kiosk and a souvenir shop. The gray planes are the varying ground levels around the building.

The London Underground (District Line) runs through the lower compartment of the building. Allowing shortcut exits towards the Tower Bridge and shorter platform crossing advantage in comparison to the existing station.

Perspective View

Fragment of the project, walls connected creating different spatial qualities.

It brings confusion of realising the definition of the space, i.e. whether it is interior, exterior, void or solid etc.

Idea is to develop the project with this study of conceoptional fragment model

Obviously when it is applied to the site it will be less repeatable in size and shape.
