Sketching Ideas

 I've been getting more refined with some of my design lately; working out how the path(s) and "hub" area interact and physically look.  Part of my process involves loosly sketching  my ideas or concepts and then refining them further.  That is how I have refined some of the designs thus far.  I traveled last weekend and spent a good amount of time in the airport people watching and sketching ideas about the pedestrian path and hub design.  These sketches will influence the more developed designs coming later this week / weekend.

With these sketches I am looking at the massing at the hub area area as well as how the pedestrian paths will intersect and and help form the space.  The highway expereince must remain and integral part of the design.  I would like those driving by in their cars on the highway to have a visually stimulating experience, not just those on the path.

I've continued to explore how the path gets defined and what physical forms will define the space.  I want the
forms to be very organic and to grow from the ground, eventualy enveloping the path at important areas of human interaction or intersection.  Ideally, these forms will grow from the ground, starting at human scale and
become the structure and larger gestures that define the built elements.

when I first started sketching this, i thought it was a gateway or entry...but the more i look at it, it appears
like a light fixture.  I am interested in how the different elements within the site can draw from one another and share some similarities in form.  Designing light fixtures, handrails, benches etc. can created a more unified expereince for the user.

continuing to explore path possibilities and the carving up / down of landscape and sky.
