ADAPTING STRUCTURE VOIDS I had a loose idea earlier on in the semester to adapt existing structures’ void spaces such as the underside of the island’s adjoining bridge to double as storage areas; much like any space under stadium seats is currently used. Similarly, in dealing with the void spaces generated by the Ronda de Dalt in Barcelona, “the space above the highway is occupied by new public buildings, especially high-volume structures such as sports venues.” (ed. Corner, 1999, p.239) It was vaguely thought that this space could be used to store some kind of flat pack, fold out public space on the water for fishing, running etc. This direction wasn’t explored rigorously enough to discover anything exciting, though it may have potential for Project B if correctly synconised with the framework.
