Process so far

 

Suggestion render - tower needs to integrate with the ground
structure more. However, complicating the transition geometry
makes the boolean tool go crazy. 

 

Suggestion plan, downward slope could get wider.

Units on surface

 

Units start aggregating on surface, more variation of scale, length,
width and openness is needed. I might mix in another sibling of the
unit family?

Thursday afternoon

 

Finding cousins to the family - more detailed, more kinetic and better cuts

 

Slim unit detail

    

Slim unit opened

 

Mass unit (open), seen through an open frame unit

 

Experimenting with primitive shape, a cylinder.

 

A new primitive, a tower sitting on the corner of a shape that greets the new station building,  makes room for the post house (to the left) stops the flow of an overly long wind tunnel of a street (right) and slopes down into a new public room in front of the station.

 

Subtracting the shell-shape from the primitive

 

A cathedral, maybe not what we're looking for...

 

 Interesting shapes appear when booleaning

 

Subtractive pattern in primitive, (seems maya can't handle when the subtractions overlap?)

 

Adding on top of the subtraction

 

Scales for the slope, possible stairs? floors?

 

Boolean additions, amfitheatre, stairs, balconies, drain pipes or  something else?

 

Creating a sense of verticality by addition

 

Vericality by addition and subtraction

Form Logic - The intersections of two spheres creates a round yet sharp shape.

 

Aggregations of the base shape.

 

Early aggregation experiment on site, layering and scaling.
