1st try

i just started to apply materials and I'm not sure if I should continue working on this for tomorrow.
Do you have any advices?

roof study
Depending on artifacts and purpose of space, some rooms need top light while others do artificial one. and the ligth well could be a symbol of the space.what i'm wondering about is the shape of the light wells might make the concept of space weak. looks a bit different from the rest of the design....hum..dont know well..

progress so far

the axo doesn't really have a hierachy jet and the 3d file has far too much and on the other hand not enough information at the moment, I think the section and plan give more relevant hints of what it's about
maybe I have to explod it more...

the upper levels as space for students

moduls for stuenthousing

Courtyard ideas

Just some ideas for courtyard extension. I prefer the third drawing with a larger courtyard to the right and clothing to the left. It seems to be the most intimate without being too small as is the case with drawing two.

Im beginning to thing 9m wide is too big for the commercial block, that it would just be normal sized instead of small and stacked up. would 6m wide be too thin? considering i have to include storage/staff/public facilities aswell? Help?

Block One Layout

Block One in comparison with Pentonville road. The original path width was more or less 3m, with the addition of block one the pavement is expanded to 'hug' the buildings first floor outline allowing a larger area for the public and a posibility of creating a social space like the LaForet entrance.
This is the commercial block with 14 shops in total, it is 7 floors high to mirror the commercial buildings opposite, correct me if im wrong about that. To keep the building wall-like i have eliminated circulation space and circulation is through the shops themselves. So you would have to go through H+M to get to Topshop for example... Mwuahaha
Loading access is at either end of the block, I didnt want to add extra space for direct loading so this would have to be done within the shops themselves, is this a stupid idea? I kind of like the idea of torturing the shop keepers and having the 'shop workings' and 'shoppers' integrated.

Initial model of one of the 'trees' and how it might be populated. No circulation yet but working on it!

that's basically what I'm working on at the moment,
working on a 3d model of the site,
I'm designing it now without the bridge,
This starting point should work as a corridor to the campus
a world inside this old facade, the boxes are floating student galleries and
the path and a platform leading to the old lighttower should lead tourist in there
the two top floors will just work as normal office space which will help the whole building
to get some income through rent.
