Ground level: I allowed for lanes to penetrate the ground level. These lanes stem from existing axis' within the context and divide the mass into similar scale chunks.
Courts/squares have been generated at the interior termination of lanes. these would form outdoor rooms and meeting spaces, attracting permeation through the lanes.
Level 2 & 3: Building vertically with two rules.
- North, East and West edges go straight up.
- Southern edges step one cube back, I did this to increase sun access.
Full Form 4 levels: Even though I was meant to make 6 stories? I stopped because the real limit was 21m for a Parisian urban height which if done throughout the city would allow light to reach the streets.
I found this a great experiment even though the cube dimensions are totally unresolved, I think of it as an incorrect resolution like a low-res digital image. Still the essence is there and this is practice. Other elements i left out in this model are spans and cantilevers which I would like to use much more as they are an inbuilt ability of the cubes. I propose that a cantilever of 2 cubes and a span of 4 cubes to be the maximum limits. This should be explored soon.
