I was thinking. The position of the young architect is to speculate, WHAT IF?... Not to solve all the detailed how to's, Just enough to provoke further interest.

sun rule2
Southern walls may only be as high as there is clear space south of them.
This rule is derived from Adelaide's sun angle of 35º which is then approximated to 45º. Over Adelaide's main streets like Franklin st. of 30m this would allow 30m high or 6 stories to be happily built all over the city.

Structural calculations
Using span to depth ratios we did last semester I was able check column widths. By my calculations a 130 square closed grade c350 steel column could take 6 stories at 9m spacing.
The main thing for me here was that 500 square would be enough for structure and services, it looks ok
Cross pollination : form finding
From pixar's MOMA exhibition book. Sketch by Anthony Christov for cars, it is an automotive interpretation of a canyon landscape From the foam block modeling I was reminded of this kind of form.
Multiples of 5m W&D, Height of 3.5
The dimensions shown here are able to work easily with multiples of each other.
This allows different size spaces to coexist with in a uniform structure.
