Developing the form

a)

Examining my initial studies of weaving layers of space to create composite layers which intersect to create different types of spaces, 1 - filled space, 2 - void space, 3 - semi void space i began to implement this into the form. I extended the reception strip another floor so it could start to begin the intersection points for the other strips.
b)

The gym strip intersects into the reception strip so it begins to extend from it. Because of the site constraints there is a need for a 4m gap from the railway into my site for the overall master plan. The intersecting of space saves space as well as integrating the spaces together more tightly.
c)

The physiotherapy strip is now intersecting into the reception but it’s not sitting completely on the reception strip so therefore needs to be supported some other way.
d)

The gym strip intersects physiotherapy strip structurally, so the two spaces become one strip almost except that the gym cantilevers over the creek.
e)

The Health education strip is orientated on the reception; it leaves a huge open air surface above the reception for the public as an open space to enjoy the surroundings to.
f)

The health education strip which is private will be a segment within the public library/ research centre. The segment within the strip cantilevers above the restaurant and decking area.
