Hub Development

Continuing work on the commuter / pedestrian hub...the program is evolving from a single building with intersecting paths to several buildings, oriented together, but not physically connected.  The pedestrian paths cut through these spaces on several levels based on the type of use that is occuring.  The upper path moves pedestrians through the space, connecting the meadow / ampitheater with the tennis center.  You can then move down to a middle path that takes you to the amusement park as well as the movie theater to the north.  There is then a lower platform that serves as the train station.  Within the buildings, there is the transportation depot, a grocery, hotel for park visitors (or commuters) and a visitor's center.  A second building houses stores and shops...the idea is that the built environment could be expanded in the future to include more functions, such as additional hotel space or even condos or apartments..basically eventually becoming it's own centralized community.
I am giving more concrete definition to the forms, but still keeping things loose and sketchy.  I find it helpful to go back and forth between the hard line drawings and "sketchy" drawings.  I will sketch it up, then hardline it, refine and repeat.  I've shown some of the sketches that inspired this model and will show some sections and vignettes to give this a more understandable scale.
