This is my test of air flow around my site. Simple but visually helps to determined what kind of movement there is on the site. As you can see the heavy air flow is located on my lot. All the air escapes to land via that opening. The air that comes across and hit the building are force upwards and around.

Most of the air comes from the river and enters the only opening on the site. By adding a structure how would the air flow?
This opening allows the air from the river to flow in to the city.

A view of how it would all look.
Looking upwards
When underneath the worms you are able to see its movements to hold its host in place.
Sharing is caring
This image shows how all tapeworms are different but share something in common.

My second Massing
The dominant wins............ This idea came while washing a lion special on the Discovery channel. I came up with the whole idea of how cool it would be if discovery had a tapeworm documentary right after the lion special. My mind started to think on what would they show and how would they try to keep the audience glue to there seats. One idea that came to mind was having two tape worm and one host. How would these tape worm react to one another? Would they live side by side, or would they try to kill one another?

worm 1.d
worm 1.e
This is my first attempt to capture a host. In this massing model i focus on the vertical element as the host. Note on worm 1d and 1.e the worm is place horizontal.

Idea
These are some of my ideas. I am working on the host idea. as you can see i am looking into how i can incorporate a tapeworm and the victim. In most cases i was thinking of a building being the host or two tapeworm trying to make each other a host.

Or
Manhattan Site
I have great ideas for both sites. I would like to hold my choice until a few more days until I am able to figure out all the restrictions of each site.

What is it?????????
This is my sketch and understanding of a cestoda. This Platyhelminthe parasites is the concept of my building. You may ask your self what is a Cestoda? Cestoda is a tapeworm.
Facts of a Tape worm
wikipedia :Cestoda is a class of parasitic flatworms, commonly called tapeworms, that live in the digestive tract of vertebrates as adults and often in the bodies of various animals as juveniles. Taenia saginata, the beef tapeworm, can grow up to 40 feet long (12 m); other species may grow to over 100 feet (30 m).
Reason
I know its weird and The disgusting topic but i am interested in how the tapeworm it self can be an inspiration for a human disease library.
One of the aspect of tapeworm i will be looking at will be the concept of a host. I am intrigue with the whole idea that a tapeworm needs a host to survive. Another aspect of the tape worm i will be looking at is the strobila. The strobila are the body segments of the tapeworm.
