Organisation of layers

a)

The first layer needed to be the strongest because the other layers of strips would be sitting upon this strip. The public orientation would also work around this strip. I had already decided early on not to demolish anything but work within the constraints already in place within the site. So keeping the existing cycle and pedestrian route I orientated the reception so it can be entered from both directions, one side facing the road and the other elevated diagonally along the existing cycle and pedestrian route, this will allow people to enter without disruption.The restaurant which would promote healthy eating and the decking area which would act as a quiet area to enjoy the creek is orientated on the other side of the reception so the strip continues with a break between it, this is so people can enter the restaurant and decking area without it being part of the health care centre. However the restaurant and decking area will be subtly aiding certain departments of the health centre, you should be able to see into the gym and the health education strip which would then promote these departments to the public eye.
b)

The second layer would be the GP strip which would travel along the railway, the underside of the strip would act like an informal entrance for the prospective public travelling from the bridge and Lewisham, and the strip would act as a private space to contain the GP services.
c)

The third layer would be the physiotherapy strip which would run along the DLR; again this is going to be a private strip so will need to be the outer sandwich, which will allow the inner strips to be viewed by the restaurant and decking area.
d)

The fourth layer will be the health education strip, this will consist of a private and public space, so the private space would be situate closer to the end facing the reception. The public apace would be orientated more along the end cantilevered over the restaurant and decking area. The public area will be a library/research centre to educate the public on health situations.
e)

The Fifth layer is the gym strip which will cantilevers over the creek, it will also be viewed into by the restaurant and decking area.
