For this assignment, we had to put together our bubbles diagrams and our hybrid model. Below you can see how my bubble diagrams will fit into my hybrid model.
I think that you took this assignment to much literally. I mean, you could think more abstractly and apply the ideas to the model for the design of the spaces. So I think that you could try to evolve this distribution in to a new shape. You want your spaces to have a great relation between the use and the form. Also, you have to think of the way of this spaces are going to be see and walked for the users. I hope you understand what I want to tell you.
It is a good start, the hybrid model that you created, becomes your parti. Your driver on how to develop your massing. Do not forget that you have a specific site. How does the concept tie with the site. Think of approach and circulation. And do not forget to look at all these spaces in SECTION.
I agree that it is time to step back and start building the programmatic relationships vertically. See how spaces interlock and work with circulation and to a later state a loose concept of egress - the hard limitations that can totally kill a project if not taken into account early enough.
The overall shape of the building can then be massaged around the programmatic and circulatory requirements.
Yes section is the key to this form. What about stairs an elevator alone wont cut it. Stairs can provide an important part of the way finding system; so don't plan on tucking them away in the corner, yes you will need egress stairs and they have many constraints, but if you think of the spaces in section the stair and be very critical and can heighten the vertical nature of the building. Also as a side not you are going to need mechanical and electrical rooms on every floor.
enclosure .. exposure .. in-between ... three spatial types/conditions/categories that you may find useful.
forget your hybrid model for a second ... think about the context and the programme ... where do things/activities want to be in relation to each other and the surroundings ... in relation to views, water, sky, noise etc ... you could do story boards to explore the ordering/placing and the atmosphere of your spaces ... what do passing pedestrians want to see in terms of program from the outside? perhaps an inviting place to sit, eat, chat shop? THEN enclose, expose, or in-between the activities ... in truth i actually think you are dealing with enclosure and in-between.
the 'twin-phenomena' (aldo van eyck) ... plays of light and shadow ... ambiguous qualities of the in-between is exciting ... the blurred, pixelated and soft edges often are the parts of a building where the public inhabit as places within their own right ... a real contribution to the urban situation.
Hi!,

Anyways, I love your drawings, keep like this. ^^
