Section 2



In this new section (click to enlarge) I am illustrating quite clearly the ground detail, as I feel it is so important to my scheme. The clay soil requires pile foundations to support the structure, which are connected to strip foundations running underneath the load bearing walls. I have run the section cut through the staircases rather than the lift core of the two towers to create more interest to the section, and have changed my design from a straight flight stair to a dog leg stair (to free up space), with a scissor stair in the public (left) building to control access into the depository below ground level.
