This week was a complete tear-down and rebuild of my whole project. After the 180° turn from last week I have put in many, many hours with my Revit model. Some major changes include:
- Jacking up the diagonal commuter railway on piers and letting the mound landscape flow below – solving the problem of the railway by eliminating its impact on the site.
- Using the piers to to envelop the raised office bar, rather than piece it.
- Add a roadway in front of the building running north-south.
- Preserve the idea of an exterior southern courtyard, as well as add an interior one.
- Bury the west elevation into the hillside and let the landscape flow over it.
- Add a bar to be used as a beacon as well as for light above the production area on the west side.
I also had to break my model into worksets and shut off the majority of the site and tree, etc so that I am able to effectively work on only a portion at a time.
Below are some plans and images of this weeks’ work:
