Act Three - Establishing the Narrative III.II Site Layering

Site Layering

“The city spread horizontally in space while the layering vertically in time”

The proposed site layout is informed by the previous building perimeters marked by a series of nodes and axes. By layering the plan and section over top of the previous drawings these overlaps can be visualised. In plan the proposed scheme follows the previous extension perimeters and extends deeper onto the site enveloping back and creating a secondary entrance in parallel to the existing entry facade. In section the proposed scheme descends down the site mirroring the previous building. The roof line steps up and down alike to the bobbing roof line of the cinema, shaped by original the dome and roof lanterns.
