This is what I am working on. A structure that will hang over the silos.
The first sketch is in section, and the second is in plan.
I am currently trying to figure out the main structure. I am starting with trusses at the top of the silos that will be working in tension. I was looking at choosing a number of different trusses to work with to create the different forms at the top of the silos. However, I have chosen to to use the Dual Pitch Truss and playing with its proportions and orientation.
I am not exactly sure how it connects to the building is section and an currently trying to figure that out...
We will talk about detailing a bit more on Tuesday. In the meantime try to get a better grasp on the design intent and how it is experienced.
