DESIGN IDEAS AND SKETCHES


Axon. showing ideas about sectional overlapping of volumes that would connect the residential areas at upper levels.


This shows in plan the ideas presented above in axo. Different floors (ground through 4th floor) are shown in different colors.


A diagramatic representation of some of the layering ideas. This suggests possible ideas for the exploratorium - in that it could be in two buildings and make a visual connection across the passageway, in this case the passage way acts as a connector, not a seperator (like streets in smaller towns where neighbors chat (not through the web!) across the street from their door steps.


Section showing the layering of spaces in section, but also the idea that light would ebter to the passage ways, but also to courtyards at upper levels (which couls act as secondary corridor systems).



...not important, but sketchy idea regarding the types of housing units - this may be relevant later, though probably not yet.


A computer rendered exploded axonometric of the project. The three main housing blocks are shown in light blue-green, the exploratorium/technology center in transparent gray, and the footprint of the buildings in dark blue-green. This view is looking north-west.


Views of the street facade (demolishing the factory facade), in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon.


Views of the patio facade, in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon.


Views from the street entrance down the West Passage (looking towards the patio), in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon.


Views from the patio down the East Passage (looking towards the street), in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon.
