Circulation

Looking at the circulation of the design and the issues that arise in the movement of the materials output by the nano pits i have devised a system to move and store the materials.

 

As seen in the sketch above i am proposing a set of tracks running throughout the floor plates and between levels. Robots will run along these tracks moving the different materials output from the nano pit to their storage location and then ultimately to the 3D printers to produce the customised products for the community.

Above is a sketch floor plan proposing the extent of the tracks and within that extent the location of the storage facility for the raw materials awaiting use by the 3D printers. There is a distinct interaction created between the users and the function of the space through the incorporation of the robots, storage and nano pits making the overall experience more voyeuristic.
The interaction between the users will be carefully narrated and coordinated to allow the best use of the space and maximum ease of useability and circulation.
