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.

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

This is the collage I made, showing the main ideas about the programme and character of the project. The Energy Awareness Centre is implemented into existing buildings.

1. ‘The receiver’ – responsive surface.
* symposium theatre
* small lecture rooms
* exhibition / awareness space
* foyer / lobby
* canteen / café
* shop
* reception / entrance spaces

2. ’The core’
* control rooms
* machinery
* services
* BIOMASS supplies in
* entrance to ‘the roots’

3. ‘The roots’ – underground growing spaces
* BIOMASS research rooms
* BIOMASS growing rooms
* training spaces

4. ‘The transmitter’
* research rooms (environmental energy sources)
* building / prototyping space
* testing space
* storage space
* data rooms
* waste disposal

5. ‘The battery’
* research rooms
* products out
* preparation space
* BIOMASS storage
* input / output space – testing rooms
* ‘THE OVEN’ furnace – experimental burning
* data rooms
* chimney / stack

So there it comes, first, the goal is to move 2 side balls in opposite directions. Movie made without water source, by turning the ‘mill’ by hand.
