Basic Form

With the basic form of the cross refined, it was time to combine it with the basic shape of the Squarehouse:



The two moving elements move distinctly, that is, one moves vertically and linearly, the other rotates on the spot. This motion significantly changes the massing of the overall structure in that it seemingly truncates the length of two of the extreme arms of the cross, reducing the overall apparent mass of the building.

The challenge lies in how to incorporate these motions into a workable and useful building.
