Another addition to the outer brick facade of my main building blocks is the use of airport/train station panels scattered across the facade of the building with a line of panels associated with a specific train and addition time being put at a specific place on the outside of the buildings. This way a person who catches a certain train has only to look at certain line of panels at a designated constant place on the facades to know when their next train is coming. By the different train panel lines being placed at different points along the side over time it stop congestion of people waiting in big groups looking at the boards offering a greater through fare of people once they learn where their train time is positioned, as well as further offering facade interest and integration.
Concentrating more on how my building would be clad, I considered a number of what I would consider junkstyle modern materials: corrugated iron, brick, wood and glass (either broken/fragmented or whole). My idea consisted around my general office form being made from a number of quite monumental square brick building spaces, with the brick facades looking quite war torn with bricks punched out from the facade to allow viewing from the inside office spaces and with the corners grazed for larger areas of viewing as well. Other additions would be purely aesthetic with potential addition of window barricades or corrugated iron shutters that although functional in keeping out the elements could be done in a much more functional way, although in this light being able to express my junkstyle modernist ideals. The inside of the spaces while for this task not important too much for me (as I will be concentrating more on the exterior of the building (ie. the glass and bricks coming together)0 will be covered in gib board and the glass areas to provide a very functional modernist interior that will aim to make the inside not so cluttered and contrast the complexity of the building outside. In essence the junkstyle movement aims to retrofit an old derelict building to an interior modern standard while keeping the industrial outside feeling quite alive and emphasized.
Above: An exploration of what I could do for my detail with creating a corner from a large amount of bricks and showing the glass showing through from the inside. With this I would also create a small section of my light chimneys made from concrete that would show my maine three building materials: brick, glass and concrete.
Another ideas for the creation of my light chimneys was to use a variety of materials in its construction as well as creating purposeful holes in the rising structures that would create patterned light within the light chimneys themselves. The structures although mostly pre cast concrete could have embedded within them bricks, corrugated iron and attached wood, again alluding to a junkstyle theme of creating pattern and geometric forms through a modern tradition use of materials to show craftsmanship, design and general thought.
Addition screen shots of the exterior of the building and its gaps and light chimneys that cut the top floors of the office spaces as well as the elevated train stations area offering views of Auckland and the sky and nature through the differently positioned light chimneys pointing in different directions.
