Track systems

one possible configuration.....still need to complete the tiling of he tracks on the ground plane....

Hydraulic system for tracks for P.O.D.S. access and movement

Based on the Holocaust memorial in Berlin. The Tracks are on a series of hydraulically operated platforms. The selected platforms rise and lower to form a path as defined by the user to provide access between the P.O.D.S as well as a path from the entry of the site. This avoids a fixed path system while supporting the overall concept of the building. That is, to encourage spatial definition and organization by the user and their accompanying physiotherapist or occupational therapist relative to the young person's required skill assessment/development.

Each platform has a track on a pivot, able to snap to adjacent platforms and hence (like a wooden train set) create a path for movement through the building.

Analysis of Survey results.......

Red blob = A positive response informing the choice of PODS to further detail for my final presentation. The most successful PODS with potential are PODS 6,7 and 8. I will further the structural detailing of these PODS to maximize their application in the building.

WHEN I GROW UP....

P.O.D.S.....BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY....
