Concepts and schemes










From top to bottom, it is the simplified approach I took towards the project. I want to have the building acting as a bridge, connecting the two dead space that exists in the site, at the same time, bringing life into the area. People would be able to pass through at the same time while going through the bookstore, creating a flow that exists outside of the building and in the site.
Looking at the last concept drawing, it is the closest to what I have as my final. Each cube acts like an individual space, with independent materials and exposures to light. The glass cuts through the blocks, balancing the heavy materials of the cubes (iron, steel, and concrete) with lightness. Also, from the cut, a division of different space is created on a very static positioning of the blocks, creating variations in physical space.
Anyways, more drawings will be posted of the final project, including the programs of each cube, the interior as well as sections, plans, and axos.
