Velocity Vortex Fall 2012 Marina Nicollier Architectural Design III ARCH 553
In the city, as a user goes from the exterior to the interior of a building their velocity changes; a pedestrian goes from a low velocity to a high velocity, and a car goes from a high velocity to a low velocity. This inversion of velocities creates a direct separation from the exterior to the interior. Within this project a user velocity is kept at a constant as one moves through the building and then as they leave their velocity is increased. This allows for the user to enter the building and experience it without a disconnect from the exterior.
