The image below is of the orchestra lift proposed for my project. This mechanism raises and lowers according to the configuration required by the users in question.

The main committee room has 4 layouts that can be configured that require a slightly different level plan.
They include:
1. MAIN COMMITTEE ROOM (ENTIRE ROOM)
2. GENERAL COMMITTEE ROOM (SPLIT ROOM)
3. PRESS CONFERENCE
4. THEATRE/PERFORMANCE.

As another idea for high amounts of required public seating was to use a concertina seat system similar to the American bleecher stages that fold up to a fraction of the size.

The following video explains how the ceiling would function. Folding away into the generous ceiling space when not required (committee) or down when required (performance).

Construction/Framework philosophy & Skin

The image below is a closer look at the external "skin" of the Cloud 9 building. It serves many functions to allow the building to run more efficiently.


The frame also functions extremely efficiently.


This image clearly demonstrates the use of 2 skin-like entities of the building. The inner skin acts like a traditional glazed wall system, however the external skin possesses more technological features. Like photovoltaics to collect solar power & a pillow system (lowest image) for creating a artifical fog for creating a less transparent facade.
