Function Diagrams

FUNCTION DIAGRAMS - SITE

The flow of the Pier will have two main streets, which follow along the old train tracks and binds the flows together. As a gradient in activity level, the main paths connect different urban activities; the high activity to the west, near the arrival and Cable Park and low activity to the east. To the west, the Pier is occupied by flows and noise from a high activity level, and to the east, the Pier is calm, and a low pace is expected to happen.

The intention is to design for social alliesthesia.

The illustrations in fig. 41 conceptualise the basic flow for the site without considering distances, orientation or size, but rather illustrate the activities and interconnectedness of the site. This will be elaborated on and detailed further in the design process.

b | Intended facilities for each zone emphasising facilities

FUNCTION DIAGRAMS - BUILDING

The flow of the Spa House assumably will be experienced circular, since entering and leaving through the lobby related to the changing rooms and storage of personal belongings in lockers. The illustration in fig. 42 of a conceptual flow demonstrates how to build up the extreme opposed gradually.

The intention is to incorporate outdoor areas in some way

This abstract illustration does not consider distances, floors or subdivision of volumes. However, a need for mediation between zones and functions must be elaborated on in the further design process.

a | The general flow of the Spa House is categorised into initial zones.

b | Intended facilities for each zone emphasise contrasts and variations.
