route project, plan and section
Having completed a couple of sketch models (photos to come), i've now put together a floor plan and section view. I've tried to create a sense of symmetry with my route, using the 9 columns as markers for positioning of the stairs/ramps etc.
The design offers a variety of different options for a route through the space, with several different opportunities to move from ramp to stair, or stair to ramp...
Three separate levels allow for plenty of space to move around and for people to stop if they wish. A small seating area in the centre gives the opportunity for people to have a seat.

lack of model
Despite this project being more about producing real life models/maquettes than a digital one, my model making skills are poor to say the least..
i'll hold off posting images of my attempts until they progress beyond a cereal box with pipe cleaners attached and look a little more professional..
in the meantime here is a photoshop image to show the general feel of my idea!

en route
The plan shows an enclosed courtyard within a cultural centre (think museum/art gallery). It functions as a circulation space between two wings of the building. It can be approached in both directions.
The existing structure consists of 9 columns supporting a grid of beams at ceiling level. This must remain intact.
The section indicates a height difference of 2000mm between both entrances. This necessitates the inclusion of stairs and a ramp. No lifts are permitted.
It is a further requirement that it is possible to cross from the stairway to the ramp or vice versa on at least one point of the journey.
