Diagrams of function and flow & Space

○ Functionality Diagram: how I divided the space into transitional and stationary areas to create scenes and moments throughout the site for every type of person visiting.

○ Walls & Division Diagram: how I divided the space in a more physical 'linework' sense using 'zig-zagging' mostly linear wide spaces so that pedestrians can always see into other spaces; daydream, travel, and plan what and where to go next...

○ Walls & Division Diagram Sectional: Using the shape of the story bridge and similar 'zig-zagging' patterns, I created interest within the steep site. Room for multiple types of spaces throughout the site.

○ Hot & Cold Diagram: Using the same relative shapes, I plotted which spaces hot air would rise and where places would be hot and cold to plan the environment around this; places that are busy & stationary would be cold and vice versa...
