Assignment 13
Relationship with the site New Massing
The building mass I had before didn't really share connection with the surrounding site, therefore I started to think about the park right next to the site and how they can share some kind of connection.
So I used the shape of the green area of the Park and extend those curve into the site creating this idea of Wave rush on to the shore which is the site.

Hello, Wing! Well done for investigating massing alternatives for your design. I find interesting your attempt to introduce characteristics from the immediate context of your site (in this case the shape of the park) in order to "connect" your building to it. Two questions that you can think about:
ReplyDeletea) why do you want to have this connection?
b) how visible / legible will the shape of the park be to someone who will visit the site (or your building) for the first time?
Best Regards

I am glad to see that you are trying to connect this to adjacent sites. You have done it from a bird's eye view. Now try do it from street level, thru the pedestrian's point of view. How would someone get the same feeling walking?
