Figuring out the upper site



perspective plan.. terraces

I had been joking about the idea of building a box around the existing buildings, but maybe it was not such a bad idea.

investigating in section...

sections and elevations

how they link? extend the 'street' to the coal loader seems the obvious solution

This was the first time the design (buildings within a box) kind of went 'ding' for me. Walking around site, it is sort of confusing, walking through the street, you don't really know what any of the buildings are or what they are for. Putting a box around it and getting rid of any access from the outside limits the circulation and unites these buildings. It also creates a 'indoor' street, which i think is quite neat.

This idea reminds me of that N2 house in Japan. Very clever house...
