techniques // exert from josh's email

so far they are;

Interuptions-outside of the grid-cut the grid-distort envelopes -smaller envelopes gather around these    -especially the railway station-may suit retail spaces

Axis-continuation of certain axis-also breaks up the grid

Boardwalk-access to harbour kept-indents into the envelope draw people into the urban interior spaces

Finer grain-addressing the city-flowing into it

evelope heights-graded towards the ocean to address the hills-peak towards the back of site, start to reduce again towards waters edge

topography- cutting/slicing of envelopes in the horizontal plane creates varying topographies which create urban interiors between evelopes and also link; outdoor open spaces, inhabitable poche, adjoining urban interiors, in some cases over multiple levels.
