Statement: My program is set in an environment that is central to the majority of commotion within a city. More importantly, it lies in an are where pedestrian traffic is dominant. There will be extremely little vehicular traffic. The program will also feed off of its environment and react and respond to various types of contextual conditions. These may be something as ambiguous as circulation patterns or something as concrete as building typology.
Program: Conceptual Diagram
The blue space represents the void or empty space within the site. As one circulates downwards towards the site, their awareness of the vast openness becomes more and more apparent.
Activities + Circulation happen by circumstance and it cannot be clearly defined. The emphasis on my program as a central, low-lying entity will draw people to it. As opposed to using walls and other architectural elements, I intend to use the programs physical presence within the city to influence people to move towards it.
Adjacencies and contextual relations are the main generator of this program. By using surrounding buildings as a means to define the space I create, the existing characteristics and qualities of the site will reflect itself onto the new program.
