ARCH 1202 Week 4- Tracings and Mappings

Three major dramatic points on the landscape, creating a "bowl-liked" shape,
sinking down the oval in the middle. Waves of the contour creates a notion of folding in and out
of the landscape.

Approaching mappings in a different language

Opportunities of circulation by lifting up the building

Threshold at junctions.

Beginning of a new threshold=end of a threshold

Site seen as a focal point of different circulations surrounding it.

Static and dynamic circulation concerning the car park spaces

emotion density during a normal day and during game.

What could be done to moderate the circulation and density at those period?

Major circulation and hot spots

Zig zag ramp running throughout as a transition element and also creating a space
Visually piercing at the first glance

leading to a staircase to a basement level

Main feature of stairs : Deep and dark down

Splited into 2 parts, as a ramp and a space, each at different levels
