Floor Plan - Iteration Two 1:000 This second iteration of the floor plans builds upon the first diagram, spaces are more appropriately designated and internal spaces are explored in further detail. The design intent behind the entrance (9) and forecourt (11) is to defamiliarize the user as they enter the site, this disorientation is reflective of the initial stages of grief. The desire is to have the user enter and be able to choose one of many circulation routes to begin their journey.

A 10x10m grid has been implemented into this iteration, this was also unsuccessful. It has become clear the most appropriate way to address the steel frame grid, is to address each building individually, and apply a separate sized grid to the additional spaces, the next arrangement to be tested will be 9x9m. The columbarium has been sectioned into three zones, this approach is an improvement to iteration one however still requires further development.

Along side this floor plan iteration, was a brief sectional development drawing. Above, is an initial sketch of a frame affixed to the existing structure adhering to the specified grid, this study enforced a sense of scale and it became clear that my original intentions with the scheme may result in a building that is far too tall. This information was extremely useful for further development.
