This project is designed by BIG architects (www.big.dk) for the redevelopment of Sonderboug Harbour. The design interests me, despite its form being rather simplistic, because by having each level rotated by 45 degrees offers greater light penetration to the lower levels, as well as allows for greater square meterage for vertical outdoor space. This rotational concept is by no means original, and has been done recently in a vertical sky garden tower constructed in mexico, made up of luxurious residential dwellings formed using this 45 degree rotation method.
One of the major thresholds for my own project is the factor of light penetration to lower levels of the development due to the Myer centre and residential high-rise located on either side of the site, which out-do the respectful height allocation of my development due to its functional purpose.
Form experimentation with mass modelling will indicate if this method is a suitable solution for creating a greater light filter throughout the site. Further keeping with initial ideas of physically separating the public sector to the residential sector will allow for use of voids which will further promote light penetration.

Based on my personal set criteria, this open study space given insights as to the types of study spaces that will be developed in areas throughout project 2. Although a more comfortable setting will be proposed in the majority of study areas, this example illustrates the types of 'raw' materials I would like to introduce, that will ensure a more sustainable outcome as they are locally sourced.
