Draft design

The draft develops those ideas further.

The idea of service units at the top of the tunnel comes from the Trenton Bath House by Louis Kahn, I hope those units could work as a copy of the chambers down under and will not become too outstanding. This could help to keep the site feels like untouched and maintain its monumentality.

There are ideas of reconstruct one of the coal loader and the railway of one of the tunnel to reinforce the idea of education.

There are two metal frame staircases at both end of the tunnel.

Some chambers had been connected together in order to create a larger space, and some cubic space had also been create for the same reason.

 

But some of those designs do not work.  There are too many elements and will limited the available space. The rail is not a bad idea but it seems it will mess the site up… Sometimes, “Less is more.”
