Question:
How you do give something the feeling of speed without moving it.
You change the way in which it is viewed.

The idea is to represent a sense of speed within a stationary object. Car designers need to design a car that looks fast stationary as this is when most people will view it, because if its a fast car, they will only see a blur.

Thats the same idea that I'm running with here. My building needs to give the veiwers (Spectators) a sense of speed. The same speed that the riders are feeling as they lean and twist into the corners.

To create a building in which you can see the bikes / cars wizz past, a building that accentuates the speed by blocking out some parts, forcing you to focus on when the vehicles are visible.

When you travel fast, you start to see things not in colors or shapes, but light and dark. On a train you notice how fast your going when the light is cut by trees and as you move along, you gain that sense of speed from the shadows that are being projected through the space.

Your perspective changes when you travel fast. so this building looks vertical when viewed from the front however when you approach it from the either side, you notice that its warpped. You can see it leans in and out, like that of the riders. In a rider view, the building starts to climb into view, then leans into you, pushing into your space, then pulls away, a linear representation of the corners they are about to take. The building tells a story of the track.
