This is what i been working on for the past couple of days, the floor plans are still very ruff but i feel that i am getting somewhere now. As you can see in the floor plans i have cars going up along the ramp , the reason i did this is because cars till story and history so as your moving along the building you will learn more and more thing about cars that even the biggest car junk like me wound't even know. As for the center of the ramp , i will like that to be open space , that changes do to the season , maybe in the summer some go karts and in the spring a charging station for electric cars.
Hello, Pedro.
ReplyDeleteHope that all is well with you and that you had a nice Easter Holiday. You are right about your floor diagrams - they are definitely a start but they are still very rough and still a little difficult to read. My comments below are based on what I see above - please consider them as "food for thought":
1) At this point you really need to define the building envelope and show where the inside / outside "boundary is. Where are the walls / windows and how are these built or assembled? If you don't make these decisions then you won't have a building. I suggest that you don't delay it any longer.
2) There should always be something genuine yet special about the way you enter a building - if anything this is our first impression.
3) Not sure what the dotted lines are (you show them on every level). Please clarify.
4) You need to think about how the different levels will be accessed by the public: elevators, staircases, fire escapes etc. Consider making it easy (and even exciting) for people to go up and down. Also keep in mind that stairs and elevator cores can be additional elements in your overall sculptural composition.
5) Not sure why the "elev"(ator?) area that you show on your diagrams is full of cars.
6) The idea of exhibiting cars on an inclined plane (the ramp) is unusual but impractical. How often do we see cars parked on ramps? I am not saying that you should give up the idea, if this is what you want to do. But if you are going with this then I suggest that you also try to find solutions to all the practical problems that arise.
7) On the last level, your ramp ends in a rather abrupt manner but this is easy to change if you want to.
8) How will the ramp be supported? You certainly don't need to know the size or location of every beam, column or slab in your design. However, structure is something that you also need to consider (again like the building envelope).
9) Consider the way you organize your spaces. Having a classroom next to a very noisy restaurant is not the best decision you could make.
You have a lot to do. Please let me know if you need any clarifications regarding the above.
Good luck with everything.

Hey phanos , thanks you for all the helpful comments. Here some clarification for the questions you asked.
ReplyDelete1) I already know where wall and windows will be I just have to make it clear in the floor plans.
2) I agree 100% about the entrance , I was thinking maybe to raise my building about 10 ft and make a ramp that start in the middle of the block so you can walk up to the building. If there any explains that you think might help please let me know .
3) the dotted line is the visual corridors , the reason I did that was so everyone can know where the visual corridors is place.
4)I need to test where it would be best to put stairs and elevators so that it dose not interfere with the movement of the ramp .
5) the elevator is full of car because the elevator is for cars only but now I thinking about using it for the public also.
6)I been to a lot of cars show in my life time and no you don't see cars on ramps, but the cars that will be on the Ramps may not all be full cars some can just be motors and thing along those lines.
7) yes the ramp can be changed easily.
8) the Ramps will be supported by column but I don't know what size.
9) yes having a classroom next to a restaurant isn't the best ideas I think I am going change the classroom space to supplies room
Thank you for your help , your comments have been very helpful.
Maybe you should take a look at a parking garage with all these ramps - similar to one of those at the airport... the cars do not look like they belong in this form yet.
