7.7 Phase Four- Form development-2-
This stage has looked at integrating the river’s meandering concept
after seeing its potential in development-1. This was a response to the
irregularly shaped zones which have caused some waste in space. Also,
the ramping system needed some re-configuration to make it read as it
was descending down from a high point, rather than landing at a low
entrance then moving up to zones, then down again.
The approach has involved using semi-circular shaped forms (meanderslike)
to produce more efficient forms and minimise any wastage in floor
area. The ramp is now acting as a river stream that splits into two in order
to feed into the private and public zones, as well as linking all these
meanders (zones) together.
