You need to move beyond research and data collection and begin real analysis. Research and Data Collection is just INVENTORY. You must state your project goals before you can determine if any element in the inventory is an Asset or a Liability or perhaps both or neutral. When you apply your goals to inventory then you are beginning to do ANALYSIS.
From this INVENTORY > ANALYSIS process you should have a DESIGN RESPONSE.
Set your goals on creating a true circulation map – one that includes your analysis and a schematic design response.
There is a lot of existing data available for your review that will help you with your inventory and analysis. In particular look at the Archived Brooklyn Projects and read anything related to Downtown Brooklyn or for any project in the city that is similar to our own.
