TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK

All,

Since I know that coming up with iterations is challenging, here’s a suggestion:

1. 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?
2. Make a form iteration that solves this problem, and then think about how the program might be arranged within it.
3. 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.

The Roosevelt Island is a very tiny island that lies between Manhattan, Queens and Long Island. It felt very safe and mellow as we walked around the area. The population is very small consisting mostly of college dorms.                                                                                                     Some cool facts about Roosevelt Island was that in the 1800’s, there was a lone hospital on the island for patients with TB. So this idea of isolation kept on through the flowing architecture on the island, the buildings were following one similar design. There are paved paths  with grass, and trees.                                                                                                                                                         The repetitive flow of the architecture on the island did not take away from the water being so near.I’d like to think of the Roosevelt Island as the Concrete Island, it preserved bits of Nature with trees and paved grass sections. I’m excited to pursuit that flow for with my structure.
