After presenting my concept and design I used the feedback to re-analyse the design, giving it a new direction. The two main comments were to inter grate the main central areas with the overall form. Meshing the spaces with one another. The other comment was to investigate how the design responds to the ground. How it inter-grates to the ground plane.

Pieces and masterpieces. Pieces are needed to create masterpieces. A combinations and collaboration of users ideas and thoughts are used and manipulated to create unknown masterpieces. Leaving the user with new thoughts and initiating a new path or direction to for the user to take. Enlightening the mind in a different directions.
Here the the folie acts as a beacon within its context, been able to be viewed from far down stream. My design proposals creates this effect also by illuminating its self and lighting the cliffs surface.
The form was generated from the existing site conditions. It opens up towards the three distinct areas surrounding the site. It harnesses the the energy from these districts and focuses them into the centre of the design where the ideas and thoughts are released. the design wraps around the existing rock face to mould its forms. This allows the form to take influence from the site.
The image produced here shows the relation and program of public and private spaces. locating the the public spaces towards the back of the design, enabling views an an openness towards the city and riverbed. The multi-functional space is located as a central feature as this is where the main technology and theme of the design is located. The space connects the 3 forms and links them with one another.
The section here, shows that the form is lifted from the existing ground, allowing passes through the site to continue as it was surveyed as a passage way. The design allows users to view the main space and view the projection without entering the design. A free flow of ideas and free for the public to view. Wiki leaks - share the information.
Here the form is created by focussing on a connective tissue. Like my folie, the design is inter-connected to express the themes concept. The folie was a skeletal structure to express and allow the free flow of ideas to, within and from the design.

The images here shows the way in which the surface can become opaque and transparent with in its context. Using technology to manipulate the building and thus the experience. Like my folie which projects its ideas onto the cliffs, the design projects its form onto its surroundings. The form projected is in direct relation the the theme of the design, which is a connective theme to connect ideas and thoughts with one another, linking these ideas to create a complete piece.
This image represents the main concept, where ideas and images can be projected onto the design's surface and manipulated by the way the surface absorbs the image to create new ideas. A combination of users pieces create masterpieces.
The image below represents the the way in which users can create and alter their immediate space by controlling the amount of light emitted from their sitting/dining area.

These ideas are about how the design and its exterior can interact with public users. As much as the design is about the internal environment it equally needs to respect the external relation and spaces it creates amongst its immediate environment and context at large. These images shows - spaces for viewers passing by and been able to visually connect with the spaces inside to draw and create curiosity for a user to enter.
- spaces where urban user can rest under and amongst the design.
This insertion of a supper club is in an urban context and needs to produce a meshed urban environment for its user's and passers. Create public spaces and an environment for the public as well as the intended users. Create a varse range of experiences and spaces to allow interaction which is the crux of urban design.
After researching and discussing our research within the tutorial. The supper club needs to be a place that has a multi-functional space. A place where user can spend an entire evening in a relaxed and unique environment which has an overall theme. Been able to link this space and creating individual spaces in the design is crucial for the program and experiences to work efficiently.

This photo and form expresses for me and inter-connective source which links together. A light source linking with one another and meshing together to create an overall form. I want my design to be a linking place, which has the potential to be local, national and global. A design which can be linked throughout the world.

This technology represents a new wat to create and perform electronic music. The markers on top of the screen can be moved and rearranged to produce different types of music tempos, styles and combinations. An interactive technology tool that allows multiply user to create in collaboration new music outputs. This tool could be incorporated to produce and create new images to be projected onto the club's walls/floors/ceiling surface or furniture systems.

Interactive Floor Pads that react to user interaction. The floor pads could be integrated into the Supper Club for use in the dance floor. Or the floor plates could be used to guide user from space to another where people active the lights to invite people to where they are lounging.

BMW KINETIC SCULTURE



The technology presented here is from an installation at BMW show room. Numerous balls drop from string connected into the roof. The balls can move in sequences and rhythm with one another. They can create patterns suspended in mid air and dance to the rhythm of music. The final arrangement in the video are the balls aligned to model the body of the new BMW car.
This type of technology could be used to represent the mood of the user within the club or used as a central sculpture piece. It could move in time with how many user are expressing their ideas or how much interaction is being created by design collaboration with the club. Therefore, it would be directly influenced by the users withint he club.
