space planning.

From here, I started mapping out the individual zones that would be required in each building and the adjacencies and access that should occur between each.

The museum is comprised of 2 levels. The ground level will house a ferry terminal, public toilets, and flexible exhibition space. The first floor contains the café and part of the roof garden.

The research centre will be comprised of 3 levels with an elevator running through its core. The ground floor is accessible to the public and contains the reception and foyer area, and two conference rooms. The first floor will accommodate staff facilities. The second floor will provide access to the café and roof garden.

I recognized that these 2 programs should be related by some kind of connecting element. After talking to Yvonne last week I decided that a roof garden would be a good option. It will be publicly accessible and provide a recreational area for users to sit and have a coffee and enjoy the views and natural surroundings.

The next two diagrams deal with the circulation that will occur between the 2 programs. I wanted to preserve the pedestrian and cyclist path as an axis between the two programs. This led me to explore options for an extendable shading device for the cavity in the roof garden to provide cover for the path during the hottest part of the day.
