Vertical+Circulation

About the video: The women of the video says five times the sentence” Fasten your seatbelts it is going to be a bumpy night”. I think the meaning of the sentence is like “be prepared because a lot of things will be happening along the trip”, and combined with the images it refers to the circulation of the vertical building; it is varied and locates the visitor in many spaces that look and feel different, then, lot of thing will happen there. The initial plan of the city spot are three triangles with their sides curved, putted together and creating a very particular shape that responds to the direction of the main streets. The building construction process consists in the edges uprising of the intersected triangles creating two different volumes, distinguished by their different highs and covers. The movement of people, in the internal spaces, basically responds to the directional changes, where the space is the one that guides the steps. In the case of the pedestrians, they are guided by the building itself along with the streets that surround it. In the presentation some models various views were shown, like the structure, façade, internal spaces (cafe, conference rooms, hallways, and etcetera) different access and stories one by one, public spaces, connection with the street The main access to the building is in the front, opened by one of the holes created with the cover of one of the volumes, the second access is smaller and more discrete, formed by some stairs that leave the visitor in a space that is not as important as the one with the main access. There is also a VIP access. The vehicles go by the front of the building, which allow them to leave or pick people in an easy and non-disturbing way. Also, the pedestrians don’t seem to be affected by the cars movement, because the spaces defined for them are very well distinguished from any other. The building users seem to be businessmen/women, with projects to show (In the conference rooms) or with a charge so important that needs a VIP access. This is a building for a very big company, even for more than one. The building has many different stories or floors, each with different purposes, like spaces for snacks, archives, gym, main, back and VIP access, conference rooms, and etcetera. In the day the building glows with its glass façade and in the night its lights are the main character that make it stand up. The music adds drama to the presentation and introduces the amazing space weave.
