This design studio is a Housing Studio – focusing on Affordable Housing with community and commercial support spaces integrated with the BQP – Greenway and outdoor open spaces. We will be only getting into detail of the individual units and a typical floor plate. The other buildings and spaces will be designed as massings. A lot of time during design will be spent on the overall design of the site and site plan design.
Group work:
All base maps showing proposed bubble diagrams and zoning should no longer show the BQE – but the BQP(greenway)
- Each team must produce two (2) base maps to work from. We do not want to see the lines of the BQE below. One is at grade and one is a top view.
- Finalize site bubble diagram locating possible locations for different uses. Relate these to adjacent uses.
- Develop a site strategy concept for the full site. (Can look at Ariel’s gif) gifmaker.me
- Develop two site sections – this can come from the Rhino Model
Individual Work:
Precedent Studies: There are 3 different precedent studies – Housing – NYC, Housing International, and Urban Park. There is a MIRO board for this. There is a format to follow. Many of the requirements require diagrams of your own.
