After the presentation yesterday, there were a few things wrong with the design which could be looked at and changed to provide a more elegant design.
- The interior of the building was in stark contrast to the exterior. In this case, the user would experience a technological design from the exterior, then be dissapointed when they entered the building to find standard ceiling heights and box rooms which have no connection to the initial impression of the buidling.
- The aperture at the end of the building becomes too literal with the curved glass and could be more delicately designed with the skin of the building folding back on itself to an inset glass panel.
- The entrance to the building through the midway section is a little clumsy and confused, you especially lose the feeling of perspective when having to turn back on yourself to get to the aperture.
- The midway tunnel is a little intrusive of the passersby and forces them to interact with the building in a way which they may not want to do. You cannot choose what they do.
- The building does not sit right on the site, especially the way it hangs over the heritage buildings, this needs to be changed.
The folded skin of the building worked well, but should be kept straight instead of twisted.
