To investigate the 3D form I started some initial modelling with cardboard to see what I could create and come up with a building that was aethetically pleasing and dealt with the heritage structure.
I decided to focus on the forms surrounding the original building to have a minimal impact on the puncture of the historically significant structure.
At the same time the forms are reviving the older building, by drawing attention to it as it becomes a focal point along the river and once again giving it value.
I am interested to expose part of the roof so that the original timber framing can be exposed. As the corrugated iron roofing is very much dilapidated most of this would need to be replaced anyway and so it would no longer be original material. As this would be an immitation it makes it harder to determine was was the exisitng structure. Therefore an exposed roof or a new roofing system could be proposed so that it may be easily determined what is original and what is new.
