I needed to analyse the contours and work out exactly what the cliff does so that my building can work with it. The cliffs edge is by no means a straight.
I have been keen on having a glass canopy over my building since the beginning, and I this has been an idea that was inspired by the folie. Our folie was constructed with steel and glass. It was fairly simple with the main features being the fixed triangular windows which take in views of the Story Bridge and the glass floor. The glass floor inspired me to have a real vertical connectivity within my library design and the materials are something which will also carry through.
Brett also suggested looking into the pedestrian paths of tavel through and within my building.
So while considering this I managed to stumble upon a book by Paul Laseau and this inpired me to have a bit of a play.
I then continued to try and work out what the different floor levels would work, how they would connect and what kind of activites would occur in the different zones.
