Site Strategy Post: Manhattan Site

1- Where is the approach?(pedestrian and vehicular)
Pedestrian and Vehicular circulation happens on all four sides of th site. Pedestrian circulation happens within 20 feet approximate from each side.

2- Will people walk, take taxis, public transportation?
It is more likely that the people residing or visiting will walk to take the public transportation a few blocks away. In any case, if taxi is the means of transportation for some, the taxi cabs will most likely appear on the FDR drive side.

3- Where is the quietest side or noisiest?
The quietest side is is located on the right side on the site and the noisiest is on the north side because of vehicular transportation on the FDR Drive.

4- Are there views?
There is the view of the Brooklyn bridge on the South of the site. On the left there is a few dining areas.

5- Are these views good or bad?
The views on the North and West side of the site are good because you have the view of the city. The right side is not as great because there is only the presence of a large mural covering the building neighboring the site.

6- Where will you enter the building-why?
The main entrances of the building will be on the left and right side of the building. The property is slightly long and two entrances on each side would be best. There might also be an entrance of the north side of the builging, but that is weather i decide to add the gym area on the first floor of the building.\

7- How do you attempt to fit your building on this site?
The site is about 66'-0" wide and about 142'-0" long. My building has a length of about 45' wide and 120' long.

The site selection for the dormitory project is located on South Street Seaport, Manhattan. The site has an overvies of the FDR Drive and at a higher level you can see the Brooklyn Bridge. South Street Seaport is surrounded by night entertainment, tourist Spots, great dining and much more.

DORM.: 3D MODEL SKETCH- STUDY 1 AND 1A

STUDY 1- PIC1

STUDY 1- PIC 2
Samples of Study 1 where attached together to create this dimension.
Repetition is followed to create the elevation that is needed.
Study 1-Pic. 3+4

The study model pictures above are a small continuation of my initial study model shown before. The solids that were created before i even started my study models where attached together forming a repetitious pattern the I believe it follows more thorough in then design.

DORM.: MATRIX DIAGRAM OF FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

On the diagram above, what is shown here are the basic list of program that i am adding towards my dormitory design project. The bubbles in the Diagram explain what each program must be, should be, and would be available. For example, The gym must have a main entry in the project. The bathrooms should be present at every bedroom or bedroom suite, etc.

DORM.: MODEL STUDY- BEGGINING WITH IDEAS

The models in this picture show a basic idea of what the pattern of triangular movement from the solids could be I continue to to make a study in a pattern that may work for my design.
