PARAMETER MODELLING

Below are a few images from a 1:500model which I used to explore the structural constraints of the site. Following the notion of only using the existing piers to ground my proposal, I explored the geometry which was set up by these existing piers, whilst baring in mind the initial thoughts I have had on mass and programme. The main principles were to span between each pier whilst maintaining access beneath for passing traffic. Therefore, there is the inevitable contraction of geometry around the mid point of each span and the heightening of geometry above each pier. This  may turn out to be no more than a little exercise, but at least I have another model to photograph and the uni's laser worked!
