MOVEMEN T FLOWÂ The reason as to why I have chosen movement flow is due to the fact that cars create movement , I wanted to use this fact in order to create a link between the cars and the actually showroom building , that I will be recreating but also being inspired to aim for a unique shaped building whilst looking at other aspects within nature that create movement and how this can impact my building. One of the main architects that I have been extremely inspired by is Zaha Hadid ,the shape of her buildings are strongly based on movement flow this is also demonstrated in her drawings which she later uses for reference.

NATURAL & ORGANICÂ The reason as to why I have chosen natural & organic is due to the fact that the main aim is to create a sustainable building in order to imply the message that the company is now working towards environmental friendly cars.

As I have previously stated I want to also create a link between the cars and the actually showroom building , therefore I would like to take certain aspects that the company has implied they are working with and working towards. Natural and organic is a huge aspect because I will be creating a sustainable building at the same time be inspired by nature to recreate the structure of the building.

stadium STORM WATER CAPACITY TO STORE OVER 2,000,000 GALLONS OF STORM WATER ON SITE, HELPING PREVENT FLOODING IN NEIGHBORING AREAS. In aggregate, Mercedes-Benz Stadium uses 47 percent less water than baseline (Epact 1992) standards due to water-efficient fixtures and conservation infrastructure First sports stadium to receive all water category credits, due in large part to a highly-advanced storm water management system.

ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. Alternative transportation options, including a bike valet program on event days and new pedestrian-friendly walking paths allowing for more connectivity between communities Lead the NFL with the highest percentage of fans using public transportation to attend Falcons games – thanks to convenient access to public transportation (3 MARTA rail lines in .7 miles)

RENEWABLE ENERGY THE STADIUM CAN POWER 10 ATLANTA FALCONS GAMES OR 13 ATLANTA UNITED MATCHES WITH THE RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATED THROUGH ITS 4,000 SOLAR PV PANELS. The stadium features 82,500 square feet of LED lighting, which will last 10 times longer than standard lights and reduce energy usage by as much as 60 percent.

COMMUNITY. •Innovative local food production features such as: edible landscaping, an urban garden currently in development and partnership with local organizations to train Westside residents in culinary arts and help place them in living wage jobs in the industry. Partnership with community organizations like Trees Atlanta to share captured rainwater for tree irrigation.

•Recycle for Good presented by Novelist is a program whose mission is to recycle 3 million aluminum bottles and cans, which in turn, will fund a Habitat for Humanity home in Atlanta’s historic Westside neighborhood. Help us reach that goal by donating your cans and bottles to the Recycle for Good program, with recycling stations throughout the stadium and at Gate 1 and Gate 2.

Secondary inspiration resourcesÂ

Back elevation

Side elevation

Front elevation

1. The building designed

by Zaha Hadid is in triangular format but almost fit in enough to be compared to a water wave created naturally by nature.

This allows the pavilion to be sustainable because rain can easy flow down the building to be reused.

2. The building also obtain a large surface of windows from the front to the back of the windowing which allows lots of natural light within the institution this will mean that the building would be able to use less electricity within the day.

1. I have considered creating an open pavillion this means that they willl be natural ac and light making the building susainable.

2. I have also considered using the structure of this pavilion as a segment within the building because it reminds people of tunnels that cars take, the pavillion inspirated me to consider making tunnels in the structure of the pavillion in order to get from one room to another.

Primary inspiration resorces

Based on my previous research I decided investigate idea of water (rain) beginning able to travel down the building in order to reuse, one shape that I referred to was a 'triangle' to Zaha Hadid buildings which I then decided to play around with to see whether I can receive an interesting outcome. As I looked at many different triangles I also assembled the different triangle together in order to get a get a interesting shape however I then made the decision to create the make a side elevation of the assembled image of triangles.
