Integrating logic for the design of the form : From the two observational diagrams came my logic of the form design of the waiting space. The movement of the crowd to the cave roof diagram traces a curve. The 3 routes to reach here traced also make an abstract curve whereas the section of the cave shows how the cave roof acts as a walk way, a roof and when traced down also as a wall. Thus one curve acts as an multifunctional element.
The flow of the form is therefore derived from the logic of the multifunctional elemental flow of one continuous cave roof along a curve.
Iteration process : For the 1st iteration I started with the placement of the design along a single curve. Below are the hand sketches of the iteration.

For the 2nd iteration I did addition of another curve for more elements. The original curve of the 1st iteration splits into two at a point derived from the splits i.e. the 3 routes that meet the start point of the cave roof slope and then continues the alternate flow of the movement first by facing the original curve. Below are the hand sketches of the iteration.
