Following on from my interim review, where it was suggested that a very rough pen jotting of the five primary users of the building should be given more attention when developing the plan further, I decided to revisit the notes and create a diagram which would hopefully be more successful than the adjacency diagram at understanding the sequences of spaces.
The diagram itself definitely still needs refining in terms of its communication but is successful for trying to put 'meat on the bones' of the adjacency diagrams. The idea of introducing extra entrances and exits around the key routes of the building will allow me to integrate some of the principles of the baffled entrances and concealed views which have been a recent study interest of mine. These multiple baffled entrances and routes will hopefully allow the plan to take on some labyrinthine qualities.
I feel as though before the plan can be fully considered, I would like to try to create each route in section, recreating the style of the OMA trajectory drawings which I analysed and appropriated in the first semester of this project to understand the depths of thresholds on site. This will hopefully allow me to understand any changes in level etc which will be included in each route, as well as allow me to extend the existing thresholds in my own plan. By creating these ‘unfolded’ routes, I will then in theory be able to ‘fold’ them back into a plan which integrates all five routes and their varied entrances and exits.
