Week 3 Group 9-Integrated Designs

This is our study model below. It really helps us all understand how the incline is integrated into our design. We're really using it to its full potential by allowing the "second floor" to sit on it and overlap the floor below. The challenge that comes when working with a slope like this, however, is making sure that every section of the building is still accessible to its users.




THIS WEEK,
We really focused on getting a more concrete and tangible floor plan. This allowed us to more accurately consider the space planning for the future. We also have been considering options for the entrance and the parking garage. Right now, those are our two biggest challenges. The incline on our site makes these issues a bit more challenging--we need to make sure the building is fully accessible.
