Movement and Notation: Sketch Model 06

The Plot:

Main grid lines are drawn from the master plan, the spaces between the main grid lines are broken down into smaller grid lines. The auditoria  are placed onto one half and distorted to meet the grid lines where appropriate, the same is done for the central strip and public facilities. Programme then interrupts the ground, which is formed by the figure, and the figure is then updated to suit the level change. Consequently forming a ground floor plan that will emerge from the master plan mat, blurring movement through undefined boundaries.

Movement and Notation: Proposed Site

Campus Urban Grain:

The matt is to be used in order to form a figure ground relationship with the building mass for the campus [Wikipedia – German: Gestalt – “essence or shape of an entity’s complete form”] the shape of the buildings will emerge from the ground to form different figures over the matt.

Movement and Notation: Existing Site

Greenwich Peninsula:

There are three public transport hubs close by, tube, bus and ferry. This will provide for the transport to the site as well as the car. At the moment a large part of Greenwich peninsula is occupied by car parking. A new master plan is undergoing construction at the moment. There are limited green spaces found on Greenwich peninsula and the pedestrians are forced to walk against the river with limited access off of the Thames walkway to the centre of the peninsula. The existing site is scared by its industrial history with very limited pedestrian access running from east to west.

Movement and Notation: Wider Context

Context:

Diagram highlighting the near-by transport links from central London to the Greenwich site and comparing the number of recording studios, dance schools, music schools and campuses in relation to accessibility. The new campus at North Greenwich will sought to incorporate each category within one site.

Sketch Model 06:

This model begins to explore the relation between each programmatic ground and how the main programmes begin to interrupt the public ground by distorting the space through the interjection of exposed programme. The new spaces formed within the public slice have different qualities, forcing different facilities to inhabit certain areas of the public ground.
