Sectional model through the community pool, program bar and Olympic pool & seating. The program bar houses the locker rooms, as well as gym and wet classroom, which are used between both the community & athletic centers of the aquatic center. It acts as both as visible and functional divider between the two larger spaces.

Diagrammatic organization of the program for the aquatic center, as well as the proposal model for the midterm presentation.

The final product.

Plans; showing the specifics of the structure. The skin pattern creates a solid mullion and the 'open'/'closed' component of the skin creates a window. The dotted lined notate the overhang of the oblique walls. The structure pattern overlaid on the floor creates a glass tiling system, as shown previous here. Sections; highlighting the overlapping program, structural system and 'open'/'closed' skin system.

Using the previous skin pattern, I created a rule-set where the aperture system of the building reacts to program. For instance, the stacks do not require light and thus the pattern is 'closed'. The reading and play areas require light, so the pattern is 'open'.
The lighter grey is 'closed' and the somewhat translucent darker grey shade is 'open'.

Additional program studies, looking at the square footage requirements as a volume and stricter public/private and age devised spaces. By taking those requirements and arranging them according to previous programmatic goals, I discovered new sectional aspects of the program.

The first look at program, considering the traditional library scheme. Divided between age groups and private/public spaces. Then diagramming the supposed circulation, based on the outward movement of the e-coli swarm. Through further study of the relationships in program, I began to develop a structural section where program is joined.
