on earth i can use the landscape as outside elements
but in space there has to be an atmospheric hull around it.
the question is: where is the borders between inside, outside and outer space
on earth the question of facade rises since right now the ramping elements generate a kind of facade in the distance that is on multiple levels in different distances. but where is the actual climatic hull? is the spaces only glass boxes placed inbetween the structure?
possibilities of creating volume:
- cover the whole structure in a glass box
- span material inbetween layers
- thicken up the pattern to tubes (looses the visual effect)
- start generating a secondary pattern as facade element
whole structure covered
thoughts about color coding/ color gradient between inhabited area as inside space and parts that generate view (and landscape)
thickened up pattern to tubes: question of facade....
i would like to deal with the ambiguity of the floor and facade in the scale of the whole structure since the floor becomes facade in the distance

trying with textured elements
trying to make the pattern 3d
always the question of how to enclose space
with this 3d tests I tried to get away from the high complexity of the pattern and start thinking about the 3d properties of the whole thing...
the pattern is very much about ramping because ramps generate framed views when looking from a space underneath through the ramps
but where does the interiour space end when the environment becomes the facade?
should the project only be about creating an environment since in space there is no real environment that has a perceptable distance?
how huge could the structure become when it is only environment?

top: effect of having different horizons
bottom: gradual horizon change when looking horizontally through space section

showing the layered view to the top
thinking about the facade as outer layer that would start folding around the volumes; the big question would then be: how does the landscape get enclosed to the sides? transparent material???

section showing program distribution
section showing mass versus structure
more orchid aesthetics section
(this is the one i like most.. )
seeing this as an elevation, this brought me to the idea of having a flat structure that wraps around the center (levels and landscape) and that the facade would start wrapping around it... like the petals of an orchid....

simple scheme of the section

I started building the three landscape elements and connected them to a ring.
the part on the bottom should be one of the three volumes. in this part the patterns turn from section into elevation to generate some kind of density
