In order to achieve this organic form, the surface will be divided accordingly and the steel members will essentially become the ribs of the building. I began working out some details, and figured out a preliminary sketch detail. Essentially the steel ribs will have two individual connections at the top that will mount to the top and side of the concrete highway slab.
The second image is more of what the form of the steel ribs might begin to take shape. Still a lot to do for next week...ayeeeeeee
It is good to see the ambition in this project starting to come together most notably in the development of the ribs. That said I still feel as though there remains to be a lot developed in the overall structure such as the floor and the methods of a sending into this greenhouse and also the infrastructure that would be necessary and at play in dealing with the huge soil and water loading conditions. There is also a great deal of potential with the recycling theme as you may make overt decisions to integrate the runoff from the expressway above you and also perhaps the inherently poor air quality in the surrounding environment.
