| I re worked on my plan and reconsider the shops placement. Above, this the the shop placement for the forest narrative (the top) and the old city narrative (the left side) where according to the grid, I place the old city narrative as small alley ways leading up to a centralize space but visitors can also deviate at any point through the opening between the shops. The forest narrative is in progress and will have spaces inside the rings. Also, it may have different individual shops scattered around the area. I try to keep make each arrangement different but sticking to the grid lines. |

 |
| The above is the revised plan drawing which I included service areas on the same floor to minimize the amount of unused space. The underground floor would now be the circulation for service trucks. |
 |
| The service area is divided into 2 parts: 1. Staff service: stairs, lifts, staff toilets, administrative offices, staff canteen, storage 2. Customer service: stairs, lifts, toilets All toilets. lifts and stairs are 100 metres away from each other In the diagram above: Brown: Customer service area Purple: Staff service area Green: underground service area (truck loading area) |

| This is the zoom in section the ocean zone of the mall which has an opening towards the above island. The section shows the circulation methods: trucks, boat and pedestrian. |
 |
| I proposed a new plan which is in a a shape of a Hexagon according to the placement of the 7 static narratives. The triangular grid is 50 x 50 metres wide and acts as both the dynamic grid and the column grid. However, I need to fix this as it is too wide for spacing between the columns. |
 |
| The section throughout the shopping mall able you to see the different levels. The mall and the service level underneath and how the circulation route for the visitors and the service is located. |

 |
| First project proposal showing the shopping mall as a large space with wall partitions inside which can move around, providing a series of space for a narrative to happen. There are 7 general narratives which have 7 static spaces. These are: - desert - ocean - mountain -space - forest -modern city - old city These narratives are only the platform in which more specific and detailed narratives can happen due to people, sound, speech, gesture, moving objects etc... The grids in the plan provide a framework of different spaces and positions a space can turn out to be. |
 |
| I try to convey out the clashing of different narratives in one space and how an conventional idea of a shopping mall would come into play ( shops). |
 |
| This is a view of how different partition of spaces (walls, roof, floor) can change a narrative when moved. |
