These are sketches of how I plan to approch the first facade study model. The concept of this is playing off the idea of the new structure in this case unwilling to stand without the old structure and that the old structure is still strong and useful.

This first one is how a beam could be attached and use the existing foundation in section. This would provide oppertunity to hang program as well as stack program.

This is the south facade. The idea here is to slowly expose the old facade as well as guide people to the new entrance of the building.

This is how the facade in plan can be treated. Like the division of the city the program pieces are separated in plan and section. The transitional spaces between them will be interesting and designed with the grand perspectives connecting the program.

The public entry is off the second level and includes the main museum which maps the progression of the city and gives a history through garden panels ( after sattelites are done) and a hallway of the old structure. This also has a cafe in the corner and follows the perspective views out toward the city.

The second level has side entry off the stairway through and downstairs to filter the public from people who are staying in the "hotel" part. This is specifically for people wanting to rent rooms. It accomodates them with basic travelling ammenities such as a pool and outdoor deck area. The idea is to keep this program simple and design an environment to get them out exploring the city and spending money.

The ground level has direct street enterance for the local program. This includes office space to employ locals and classrooms for afterschool activities involving the reconstruction of the city.

This is a basic conceptual way that the locals can reuse the destroyed concrete and stone left on the site. Limestone is strongest when heated with clay and added as aggregate to cement. This along with the recycled sattilite panels is reusing indiginous material in efforts to be sustainable.
