Model 4:

Further exploration into the roof structure, assessing the possibilities and relationships with its surroundings. In particular I wanted this model to establish how the rear exit integrated with the city, as visitors leave the building and find themselves in Bradford's shopping district. Here, the bold roof structure becomes the wall element and is the only point where it meets ground, this exit emphasising the dramatic form.
The existing connecting route is to be maintained, users find themselves using a route that is almost integral to the scheme.
