Concept Drawings into 3D Modeling

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 spaces where it fits the needs for everyday customers and inhabitants, but also bring everyone together to one centralized space.

This view is set from Washington street, I wanted to create an area of entrance to both the market and the culinary school/restaurant with potential outdoor activities and interactions. I wanted to create green roofs accessible from Washington street so that guests can arrive and get a better view of the Brooklyn bridge without actually stepping onto the Brooklyn bridge. Another thing I thought about is having the restaurant be situated on the last two floors, ensuring that the restaurant becomes a spectacle of what the culinary school and market already offers.


The Market is trying to follow the curvature of the culinary school/restaurant in a way that allows for all the programs to be situated along the bridge's wall and allows entry from Old Fulton Street. By not obscuring the entrances and allowing guests to be able to purchase market goods without actually entering allows for the thought of circulation and what spaces can be fit most important for that to be successful.

Trying to understand what surrounds my site are the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE). By trying to remain create a one continuous curvature is challenging as well as figuring out the program spaces.

    This is a good start at massing. I am not clear which is the bridge and which is the BQE...It does not matter. Both represent a certain notion of connectivity. It would beg the question, do you want to additionally explore the idea of connectivity with your fanning out and filtering of programme and ostensibly mass from one side of the sit to the other. You are essentially flirting with the notion in your descriptive intention statements to date. if you are still interested in the idea of the organic, look to biomimicry and ecosystems to derive ephemera of natural means of connection.

Building Typologies Analysis

Building Typologies Analysis How do we further analyze projects to help achieve a better understanding to what is necessary for my project. Now that we have an understanding to what I want to design on Anchorage Plaza, the next phase of analysis is learning more information about other sites and projects. In this case I decided to pick out three different projects. Each one of them signifies one specific building typology so that it can give a better insight at how I can incorporate all three typologies into my design further along the way. With that, let me show you what I've analyzed and help you understand as well how I broke down these projects. First Project - Typology (Outdoor/Hospitality) - Mercado Roma Second Project - Typology (Educational) - Institute for the Culinary Arts Third Project - Typology (Hospitality) - Cheering Restaurant

Design Iterations and Passes

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 ...
