[TH/10/11]

Having looked at the Architectural language that exists in the Guild Hall adjascent to our site and having analysed the building through parti diagrams I noticed the Guild Hall has exactly the same programmes that will exist in our building. As my scheme has developed a strong theme that has driven alot of my design decisions is the materiality that I wish to use. I wish to have my building fit within its context by continuing the material and language from the buildings surrounding the site into my own building. These were a series of 3D Models I made to experiment with that desire. The models continues the system that already exists in the buildings on the site using a grid system that increases the structural performance of the building and starts to bring order into an otherwise a-morphic scheme that has previously driven my scheme. This is a very crude and rudimentry representation that will be developed further as I engage more intensly with the structural performance and organisation of the programme.
