iteration

no.1

defining programme

In the first iteration, the aim was to start thinking about how programme would work within the chosen plot. By finding precedents that have a similar focus on open workshop spaces and bicycles, the first few ideas for the programme began to emerge.

How early afternoon sunlight would land on the site.	Roughly showing how that light would then enter the spaces
The south facing frontage would be a place for people to get quick bike tools/coffee without having to go inside the building	looking into the space created by the collage from the south facing frontage
adding a makeshift sawtooth roof allowed me to start thinking about how the light would be filtered from above
Adding the roof showed how the space would look when enclosed

By playing around with the way the existing building and the empty plot would interact, I realised that there is potential for an in-between space that would help link and also mediate the two structures. Both new and old.

As I began experimenting with the different forms, I realised that whilst I wanted to keep the existing typology of the warehouses, I wanted to utilise the empty plot next to the existing building.
