So I'm trying to investigate what makes the nucleus a place of interaction and how to define a atrium space?
The atrium has to perform as a formal meeting space, "break" informal meeting space and vertical circulation. The idea is to create more informal interaction. I started with a formal geometry of the cylinder for its to contrast with the other lab spaces and give a hierarchy of geometries to the overall. To determine these floors that would, I used coins to indicate a person and their "bubble". My investigation looks at how the paths and adjacent informal meeting spaces can influence collaboration.
I was glad to see this model as it shows a more open-ended approach than previous efforts. I read it as more spatial in that there is a good variety of experiences in terms of dimension and enclosure rather than the repetitive sandwiches of space. In your earlier "carbon" scheme, you have defaulted to projecting your plan into continuous stacked floors of the perimeter wall and radial arms. The core model instead demonstrates how to use the translation of the plan into 3D as an opportunity to create spaces.
