Mid Term Review November 4, 2009.
Street facade (south) with adjoining properties
Site plan with roof plan, left is level 3
section through the central circulation

Goals:
My goals for this studio have been to create a very cohesive site plan with central axis that combine the indoor and outdoor spaces. This centralized structure will allow for relationships to develop within the disparate program functions.
The second goal was how to daylight all of the spaces, and preferably from two sides. This will e accomplished through transverse circulation cooridors being lit from above with skylights/sawtooth ridges, and develop light shelves on the east and south sides to project light deeper into the large spaces.
Thoughts:
Felt like a final pin up, but one I wasn't fully resolved with all of my choices, so it's nice to have 3 more weeks to fine tune things. The areas I have not spent much energy include the mediation space and courtyard and the roof planes. How to unify while keeping the separate functions visible will be the next challenge. Also how to draw the entire facade together with some horizontal lines, window light shelves?
