Model-Part 3






























These are the newest changes. What ive done is as follows.
a) Pulled the facade of the medical building seen best on the lower picture out toward the front of the site in order to continue the geometry of the existing building around the corner. It actually seems to open open the entrance a bit more, creating another layer of circulation that has not yet quite become unnecessary. Its necessary because it allows you to walk through the portion of program, gaining a better relationship to your surroundings in that particular area of the project.
b) Two circulation cores added to manhattan edge of the project. I feel like its only natural that while moving throughout these spaces vertically, you may as well have a preety skyline to look at :)
c) Pushed a portion of the residences back toward the waterfront, opening up circulation toward the park, and emphasizing the path of travel with a cantelever ( Will most likely be used for smokers in foul weather ) and a collonade of tree's to make the gesture more pronounced. The tree's also cast a nice reflection within the water element infront of the amphitheatre.
Let me know what everyone thinks. I feel like its getting a bit closer. Now onto plans.
