development!

so i have developed my ideas a little, i've decided to have the tram run through the glass shell of my tram stop. also for my model i will make it by hand and then use the laser cutter to do some etching into a panel of perspex at 1:1 with some information about the railway station building as i will have several panels of glass etched into with information about the railway station and my new developments, a bit like a timeline or history of the area so not only will it be a tram stop but also a walk through information center. the top level where the actual tram stop is will be connected to the lower alfresco dining/bar area via steps on the interior of the glass shell also made from glass. the reason i chose to use glass was as to not obscure the vision of the old railway but instead to be something completely different and stand alone that also doesn't detract from the area, seeing as the brief was about giving not imposing. here are some pages of sketches i have done over the past few days.
