I have just finished a model that begins to explain the dynamics of the spaces better. While it is still very diagrammatic, it shows how the levels fit together, the windows on all sides penetrating through the building, the entrance vestibules pieced throughout the building, and how the ground plane dramatically dictates the entrance locations.
The model begins to show how I plan to place interior vertical circulation. The vestibules containing vertical circulation use escalators (and adjacent cart conveyors) sitting at angles, and I plan on the interior vertical circulation to follow the same rule. However, the escalators will twist and turn a little more, and as the escalator cores stretches up, the space will also twist up. For example, a department store typically has a vertical space where the escalators lay parallel to each other, and it continues perpendicularly up. This building will rotate and twist these escalators and their spatial columns, creating a dynamic central vertical interior space.
