bending the rules

so what i have done (successfully believe it or not) is powercoppied the voids within the formwork so that i can project an offset of the surrounding parcels as a void through the form at specific angles which were individual parameters.

so the offset dimension, the azimuth, and the altitude are all parameters applied to the specific holes in the formwork.

this characteristic makes several things possible in this parcel; it takes up less light to surrounding sites (essentially being a good neighbor), it fulfills the rule of allowing at least 50% light to the parcels north of me at noon on the vernal equinox, 30% light to my parcel at noon on the vernal equinox.

i have also shelled out the form (not shown here) so that the walls are 50' thick...this is basically for the residential located on the exterior. im in the process of calculating the FAR by cutting sections every 12feet and seeing how much occupiable space there is in my building.

this will also give me an idea of where possible 'cores' might be located as well as if i absolutely NEED to move some voids around.

till next time...
