Updates on Underground Shopping Mall

This is the updated plan where the different line colors are the circulation of the ramp that comes from the ground level of the shopping mall from different entrances that surrounds the hub. Each circulation color represents the different entrance route. This is where my grid system will derive from, which is having the grid system constructed based on the flow of the people. Each entrance has one ramp that leads them in like a main artery and then each ramp would starts to separate to sub routes that leads to different directions in the shopping mall. Where each routes intersect creates a space where in those spaces, the programs will be inserted accordingly. The rest of the plan shows the network where people circulate following the road of the ground level leading to the hub. 

This is the old grid where each grid follows each road's direction. The columns are arranged according to the experience i want to create, which is having the furthest network be unpredictable as you move through by having columns to direct the space and as you go closer to the hub, the column starts to disappear to being hidden in walls until you reach the hub, you will find yourself in a grand space, like a plaza where the columns direct your circulation and the intersection of those routes leads you to different programs. 

This map shows the site overview with the old plan of where the service deliveries would enter from through the network. Also, it shows the metro line that cuts through my underground site. 

This is a diagram of the entrances of my underground shopping mall in ground level, which is significant in my project since it will lead people to enter and exit to a network of something else rather than to a dead end space. 

This is the construction diagram of slurry wall, which will be used in my underground shopping mall on the side of the wall that is adjacent to the Dubai Creek.

This is a diagram to show the construction of different types of retaining walls and also the method of cut and cover, which is what I plan to use for my shopping mall.
