Notes on Design

Looked at how the guild and bus station work (brutalist buildings) The bus stations ciculation space is on the outside and the retail etc is a central core, due to the buildings function being about people constantly leaving. Where as the guild is about keeping people within the building so the shops are around the outside and people commute through a centralised atrium space.

Lifting the corners activates the surrounding public spaces and creates a continuty between inside and outside while funneling people into the site.

Central void acts as a centralised calm space within the city.

Void representation of the semi private market space, rather than being enclosed by the roof it is enclosed by the buildings surrounding the site while also protecting the site from wind, noise etc.

Stage will be sunk underground, this will alow for the building to 'grow' out of the earth and also make deliverys etc more private by keeping the process out of eye of the public.

Enterances can be made by using the stepped idea and 'pinching' them from the ground up to a raised point. keeping it ties into the stepped idea while also making openings clear.
