A lot of time has been spent working on the model, separating it all into layers for later rendering, working on floor plate definition and modelling the living machine tanks and pipes. There has also been a stairway added from the top of the research facilities building to the top of the cliffs, meaning the entire way can be traversed on foot. I think that I actually really like the view from Bowen terrace at the top of the cliff, as the building just sticks out, raising questions of what is beyond sight. A glass atrium has been added to the waterfront structure as well, which will flood the cafe and exhibition area with natural light, and the 2nd level floor plate has been recessed to further this open, light environment.
I've spent a fair bit of time working out the ground plan, creating an emphasis on the the pathway through the complex. It's 5 metres wide at its thinnest, which I think is plenty of room to accommodate cyclists and pedestrians. It also steps in towards the entrances of the buildings to lead the users into the facilities. Bench seating, tree's and planter boxes will all be added, and a projector will focus on the upper half of the public buildings wall inside the passageway.
