Design 6 Work Studio Portfolio

Design Iterations and Passes After figuring out different design iterations and considering most of the comments made through previous posts, I've decided to stick with one of the iterations that I will present right now. I've continued to explore the different possibilities that my project can evolved too and how I can connect the buildings so that the buildings have no way of disconnecting. Through my thought process, I've realized that my market doesn't necessarily need to cover the whole second side of my site. Rather use more space for outdoor and using my concept to blend in with program elements and important areas of gathering. Iteration one was my previous post. Now we're stepping into iteration two and three. With this iteration, I wanted to represent the concept of spewing and creating different areas of entrance to the market. These two concepts are progress that I've been making with this project. Although I will keep the current design of ...

3D Massing Culinary School/Restaurant in Section Perspective Starting out with a section perspective of my culinary school/restaurant, now I am starting to try to understand where important spaces can be positioned as well as where can the most public spaces can get the most views while still maintaining the accessibility of the other programs on my site. This is just a quick section perspective to understanding massing. Market Stands The Market is a place where market stands can also represent the the market's building. I started to sketch out potential market stands to help me understand at how I can implement it to my market and carry the concept further.

3D Modeling Massing and Development After having my first iteration and thinking about my programs, I felt that my concept of fanning out and keeping a continuous curvature didn't correlate. Therefore, I've kept the curvature of the roof on my first iteration by making it a reference to a new mass and trying to keep all three programs together through out the site. My concept follows a more unformed curvature, as it's trying to fan out and release itself onto the site and to the bridge. With the concept name, "Soyokaze" the curvature allows for a more subtle approach to my buildings. I have also decided to carve out the arches on the Brooklyn bridge to allow an indoor/outdoor market inside of that and bringing together both sites even more. With that, it now allows for more access in every side, from Old Fulton street to Washington street instead of looping around the block to enter the market and vice versa. Now that the market will allow for its programs ...

Logo Analysis and Breakdown I always felt that with every design, there should be a name. With that being said, I've went back and revisited my building research and went back into its Japanese culture. The thought of a Japanese household being brought together within the family and having everyone on one centralized space is relevant to what I want to introduce to Anchorage Plaza.

Concept Drawings into 3D Modeling After taking much consideration with comments left on previous posts, I've decided to try and establish my design in a much more uniformed fashion. By trying to understand my concept and my site context, I revisited my concept model and tried to understand a bit further at how I can develop a concept that drives the "fanning out" and looking at the different hierarchy through out my project. With this first iteration I started to develop mass and program development to try and understand where spaces would be important, and understand how I can make my three programs much more uniformed. I've also decided that I would combine the restaurant and the culinary school into one building and have my market be its secondary building. Instead of creating three different buildings, it would be under my best interest to try and combine the spaces so that it can be viewed under different scenarios throughout the week. I want to create spa...

Design Development - Hybrid into Concept Drawings After creating a hybrid model, how can I come up with a concept that develops from my hybrid model? After doing my hybrid models, I went into sketching a few design ideas for my buildings. I've decided that the best approach would be to combine the restaurant with my culinary school so that the restaurant and culinary school blends together as the market comes and introduces that two other buildings in one continuous program. My first iteration sketch, I was trying to figure out landscape as well as program spaces. I felt that things can be switches a big and made to blend better than it originally was in my sketch. I realized that I didn't stay with the organic and rigidness of my concept so I went back and created another set of drawings to try and represent my idea even better. Iteration One After looking at different culinary pieces that make a restaurant and a culinary school complete; I made this sket...
