concept
In our hypostyle project we are working with a dense field of coloumns, where zones are defined by the substraction or the intersection.
By substracting them, the cuts give orientation, they define zones, let sunlight in the otherwise dark space.
These substracted coloumns can be found in the landside and airside circulation zones. The diameter of the coloumns change according to program. Where it is needed the coloumns get so thick that they intersect and create poché. The program in the poché is food and bevarage, retail and offices. On the groundfloor the poché separates the arrival and departure zones, but it provides program to all the circulation zones.

Greg's comments
-If they are on a grid they are not true pilotis.
-You have too many things: pilotis, grid shaping, column carving & variable diameters
- keep one grid and move columns off the grid.
-Change & diameter + carving should be most important. Enlarging diameter makes it more cellular and gives you rooms. Carving gives you view and wayfinding. How do you make rooms and walls?
-Make big poche columns to absorb rooms
-Look at the Laurentian Library stair(Michelangelo) to see how columns can manipulate perspective.
-Make columns and cuts bigger.

grid
changing the diameter of coloumns according to program
how do the cuts organise space/circulation?
first sketches
how create rooms/zones in a hypostyle? shifting the coloumns off a classical grid.
where closed rooms are needed: coloumns get really dense and they intersect
creating zones by substracting the coloumns. cutting shape is readable
not all of the coloumns go all the way up, or touch the ground
