As can be seen from this section, the three separate parts of the building have evidently different functions, yet the spaces still flow from one to another despite the need for vertical transition. For maglev users to reach the ground floor, they must traverse the ramps that bypass the retail area of the building, providing a visual interaction. Even so, there are multiple directions and paths to choose from to continue the concept of free circulation between spaces. This allows direct or indirect routes to be taken, allowing the building to be utilised for exploration and mixed use, or strictly as a thoroughfare between planes.
This diagram creates a visual representation of the different zones that cater towards different types of users. Yellow is a mixed zone, blue is a non-cbd resident zone on level with the maglev stations, and green is for residents as it is located on the ground level where these users would always access the building, unless arriving from a trip out of the CBD. I have created a series of vignettes that follows each of the user types on their separate journeys through the building.
CBD Resident
As can be seen, some of the locations overlap, including the roof space. This is because the spaces transition into one another and there are no physical barriers for space and activity allocation to allow a successful mixed use building that forms a complete community
