Change of levels was also explored during this phase. The concept
involved lifting each activity at a certain height responding to views and
contours.
The way these floors were lifted was utilising the existing topography
at some parts and integrating a system of columns at others. For instance,
activities on the east side are lifted and supported by land, while the ones
on the north and west sit on a flat land and therefore some support is
needed (Concrete columns were suggested). However, the dominant site
surface sits on contour 8 (8 meters above sea level) which introduces the
flatness of site.
After exploring the levelling system, it was decided that roofs could
also utilise the same language and undulates responding to floors, so the
physical and visual movements of people can experience similar motions
as progressing from activity to another.
