Study Model

Lee Street Elevation

Tate Street Elevation
Oakland Avenue Elevation
McCormick Street Elevation
Originally, the model was built as a study of physically joining the auditorium and the area that the trains would pass through. The study has progressed from the first model, which started with separate forms representing program areas. The connector between the train and auditorium areas has several functions: exterior "bridge" circulation, specific experiences/views associated, and it is also the seam that connects the auditorium and atrium. Below, the upper form is the auditorium shell, the lower form is the roof cover over where the trains pass underneath (also where people enter the building from the Oakland Avenue side to get over the tracks safely), and the connector is the walkway.
