Completing the design



The exterior facade was completed, it was just modifying the interior left to do now. All the main ideas that I had been considering up to this point have directly influenced this end result. The several floors are connected by ramps and spaced apart to leave a hollow centre in middle of the building. I've also adjusted the diameter of the tubes differently to try and create smaller gaps on the side of the building where, for example, i'd want less light where the sun will hit, but larger gaps for the light to penetrate through in a different time of the day. This pattern is dispersed randomly, there isn't a specific reason as to why a specific space gets more light in the afternoon than the morning where instead a different space could have the same effect.

I don't imagine the varying quality of light to be dramatic, but me and my colleagues working routinely day by day will begin to notice the subtle differences, and I hope perhaps this may subconciously encourage the interaction between them during different parts of the day, where they want to stay away from the light and park on the sofa on the ground floor, or rejuvenate in the sunlight on a different floor.
