The ramp leads into the building from the main entrance and
so I wanted it to look like it’s piercing out as the runway sort of like an
arrow. The long rectangular mass in the middle is surrounded by other masses
but it still stands out most because of its verticality.
Exagerate your ideas, ramp, arrow, long rectangular mass surrounded by other masses...
ReplyDeleteStart thinking about transparency, and your relation wih your surroundings.
Thanks, I will!

ReplyDeleteView orientation can be a really powerful idea, but that only signifies one aspect of your design. What else is driving the form of the building? How are you supporting the cantilever? I want to believe that the "runway" can extend out over the harbor indefinitely, but that's not going to be the case. With so many docks and shipping references along the coast, are you able to draw any inspiration from their form/function? It would stil act as a long, slender form that pierces the body of water, but would be much more practically built.
Do you have any plans/sections/perspectives or fenestration/transparency diagrams? I would really like to know more about how you make a building of this size work, based solely on the runway component.
Thank you for your suggestions, I will keep these things in mind!
