I wanted to think more practically and realistically about my idea, I spent a lot of time trying to work out the scale of my structure. I worked out all the lengths of the my building and thought in detail about the condition of the different room. I decided to have a passage way down the side of the tunnel almost like a corridor to get in and out of different room. I realised that I only need to use 45 meters of this tunnel for everything to fit in the tunnel comfortably, this lead me to think could this just be one of many units going along the whole tunnel.
I began to do floor plans for the whole building and each room as well as creating a full floor plan on google sketch up, this gave me a better idea of the space and further more how people would move round it.
I also visited an exhibition at the Barbican called monument which was extremely interesting and got me thinking deeply about how I'm going to use light in this space. It was interesting how a curved tunnel was transformed by mainly light along side movement, sound and texture. I was blow away by this exhibition and how it made me feel really emotional by not doing much physically to me. From this exhibition I understood further how important it is to use light in an effective way and also how some times its more effective to keep it simple.
