Proposal Site Interaction

Interaction Summary
The interaction for this navigation needs to do two things. On the one hand, it needs to allow the visitor to access the main areas of the site as they were organized in the original level plan. On the other hand, some visitors will want to view all the content of each building in the level in a sequence.
The menus and buttons on these sites inspired me:

Interaction Modification
The navigation on these sites inspired me.

http://www.southeastindustrial.net/

After consideration, I have decided that the main menu bar will be horizontal and be positioned near the top, just under the title image. This is similar to ice man.

Interaction Functionality
I will use the primary navigation and the sub-navigation will be to support random access function. The main navigation will be horizontal and the sub-navigation will be vertical. The main buttons will be rectangular in shape and the oval in shape and both will have rollover states. They will all have a Web 2.0 style. In order to perform a specific directional function, I want to provide a secondary set of navigation, within the main content area. This will be comprised of four arrows: right, down, left and up. The visitor can use the right and left arrows to stay in the same building category while moving to the adjacent plan category. The visitor can use the top and bottom arrows to stay in the same plan category while changing to the next building category.
