ARCH1390 - Week 4 Exercise - Studio Exercise Stage 2 BMW Welt

The first part is about categorizing the spaces inside the building. In here I try to use 3 colours using colour pen to represent the difference between public, semi-private, and private space. I am using RED as the private spaces, BLUE as the semi-private spaces, and GREEN as the public spaces.

 After doing some research about the usage of the spaces, it shown that BMW Welt provides lots of public spaces, it makes all the people who come to this building to explore and fell the experience of every kind of shapes and spaces that are given by the building. Furthermore, BMW Welt use some kind of bridge which hung from the ceiling to eliminate columns in the interior, hence give quite massive space to the premiere area. On the other hand, most of the area which categorized as a private area is the technical area or like electricity (power plan) area.



Second part is about the movement paths through the BMW Welt, the first picture is about the main entrance of the BMW Welt, which obviously act as the primary movement path to the building.

The last part of the stage 2 is about the linework to indicate the major 'edges' and primary forms that can be extracted from the built form.

From the images above, it can be seen that the basic shape of the BMW Welt are one cutted box and two cutted cone combined together to form 'double cone' shape.
