Fahrenheit 451
If you need a break, I encourage you guys to watch Farenheit 451: https://youtu.be/T0bVqgBSZHk. Besides the obvious relevance in the current political climate, the architecture in the film has always reminded me of Roosevelt Island.

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK
How to Iterate
All,
Since I know that coming up with iterations is challenging, here’s a suggestion:
- Choose an architectural problem that your building needs to solve, such as:
- How does the building negotiate the slope?
- How can I make the building a link for the public between the sidewalk inland and the walk along the water?
- How do I maximize the view to the water, while minimize the view of the power plant on the other shore?
- How can I make this building as flexible as possible, both day-to-day but also for the future?
- How do I reconcile public space, community space, and service spaces?
- Make a form iteration that solves this problem, and then think about how the program might be arranged within it.
- Repeat.
Remember, you have a lot fewer size restrictions this time, so be bold.
I would rather that you come up with a proposal that doesn’t quite meet the restrictions than a physical embodiment of the restrictions – we can work together and make a good proposal fit.
