Briggate: Propose - Presentation Feedback 2

As predicted, my second tutorial yeilded a completely different set of comments. This time my scheme was analysed from completely the opposite end of the spectrum, picking up on many of the faults shown in the detailed floor plans.

All the comments were perfectly valid, and I intend to revisit the plans for a complete overhaul. The circulation within the building is excessive and wasteful (not just the stairs, but horizontal circulation as well) so the whole plan needs tightening up.

I now think my scheme is too far removed from the ecological/succession development that precedes the design. Whilst I'm tempted to rethink the entire scheme and design a more parasitic, organic structure, that will depend largely on time and my (more important) thesis project.
