DAB510 WEEK 3: Fabrication - Rotating Window System

A key aspect to the design is the window system which creates the view to a metaphorical timeline of the Storey Bridge construction during the late 30s. These images depict our group's thinking behind how the window system on the Node might evolve. It will provide the user with a more interactive learning experience.

Openable windows will allow significant circulation of fresh, cool air from the river. while also providing a point for the user to touch and feel the Node's skin, and relate to the techtonic nature of the bridge.

Following on from this, I decided to research some detailing for glazing systems and rotating windows to give me an idea of how the Node with be put together. This is a series of pictures which explains somewhat, where I intend to go with the overall design of the Node.
