Sails and the Structure.

Pushing my model further, for the deadline of a concept presentation.. i considered an exterior cladding system and decided to utilize a similar system that was used in my folie design. These sails are to be replicated through the interior also, to create intriguing spaces for reading. Going about the model exterior, i decided to mass create simple sails. here is the results:

Before they were glued on, just checking how they would look.

Gluing Process begins, an overlapping of sails gave a nice gaped effect.

Slowly covering the framework on both sides.

Completely covered framework, has a cocoon like look. The Sails have movement, to show the effect of winds upon the building.

Front end of library, the large slit in the side is for entrance gangplank with style i am yet to determine.

The right hand side of the building, the sails will act as a light diffusing system, to create good light to both protect the books and read.

Still yet to determine what protects the building from the elements other than these sails.

Exterior of building at night times, not as bright but the idea is there.

Interior with sun shining through in the day.. once again idea is there.

From here the design needs an interior layout and design which i plan to model within the next few days.
