I have been working on the format for the television/internet show that is at the heart of my scheme. There is a prescribed structure for formats so I have put together a draft proposal. Please post ideas on how it could be improved as it is still at an early stage.

This is a quick section showing the existing buildings. As mentioned in previous posts, I am thinking of using up to 4 existing buildings, and these are marked in a pretty pink colour on the site map above. Generally the site is slightly sloping towards the east, where the main city road is located. The site has very good transport connections, regarding the main road on the east and the railway on the west.
These are my favourite images showing my site I visited last week. I selected them as I particularly like the smoke coming from the power plants behind the forest. The former coal mine buildings look absolutely amazing with such background. Generally industrial landscape is very common in Silesia and Jaworzno is one of these cities where almost every inhabitant is somehow connected with mining.
The diagram shows the main spaces of the scheme plus the more specific activities.
There are 4 existing building I am thinking of using in the project. These are respectively:
1. Downcast shaft
2. Elevator machinery
3. Workers facilities
4. Upcast shaft
Following the previous idea of the Energy Awareness Centre being responsible for research on renewable energy, I am going for the BIOMASS. The decission is based on site-specific factors, mostly climate, however also on the tradition of using coal (fossilized Biomass) in the area.
The diagram shows roughly the main scheme activities.
I am about to begin a site massing model at 1.500 but wanted to explore the aesthetic in 3D beforehand. This is a render from the model I will be printing from – the emphasis will not only be on the existing roofscape and massing but also the invisible cartesian framework as well as representation of the city event programme. The latter may be augmented rather than modelled physically, which is something I am currently trying to figure out.
Pretty bubbles in the air
this is a spatial diagram trying to show the importance of a space based on parameters that will give it, its 3D spatiality… Still under construction. the “web circle” that is outside the shape give the parameters and transforms the internal one based on the meaning of the space and on the importance of the factors that affect it. Next stage is to put all these bubbles-spheres together and create a spatial arragement.
I think it was mentioned last week but in-order to make the most out of tomorrows meeting shall we discuss our technical briefs? If we all bring our along our own individual reports then we can see what similarities there are which will hopefully lead towards potential themes for the studio. Any thoughts?

To complement the city event ‘feed’ architecture I am preparing a hypothetical dataset of all major city fluctuations over a single year. The main graphical output will be that of a timeline with line displacement and moving average overlay.
