Having a good start on our Agriculture Research Facility, Seann and I have finally settled on a form after much debating on site layout and access. The form that we decided on comes from the notion of the grid pattern of seeds within the center of a sunflower. We next looked at our design from a structural point of view
and built a model to allow ourselves to fully understand our
design and fix flaws that came about. Our next move is to fully
define and put into scale the spaces within our building.
Im still wondering what those swooping strands of glue are for and what structural role they play in ur design. But anyway the structure and form are starting to come along i like the idea of a vertical element to the design of the building it screams agriculture ha. Make sure u use some wide flanges for thse long spans.
ReplyDeleteI like you structural model!! It looks like you have a lot of your spaces wrapping around a central core. What do you see the purpose of that space?
ReplyDeleteAre you going to have field plots that surround the structure? Is so, how will they address the site and the building?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys are heading in the right direction. It is all downhill from here right?
ReplyDeleteWe will see I guess.
Really sweet design! "It's got a bit of give to it." lol You might want to look into the strength of those cantilevers and what they are going to be holding.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah sweet structure model!
