Process 8 - Renderings

Process 7

More exoskeleton experimentation.

Process 6

Process 5 - Combination

Image one shows Process 3 & 5. Image two is my hybrid model.

I decided to merge process 3 with process 5. I also kept the exoskeleton theme, but incorporate my boat sail idea from my hybrid model.

Combination 3D model coming tomorrow.

Process 4 - Site Layout and Landscape Sketch

After my desk crit with Prof. Jill, she pointed out to me to keep in mind access points to my site (Manhattan, Pier 57), and where the building is going to be placed on it. This sketch is the last of many today; where I worked out access to my buildings' entry from the street foot path etc. The water taxi is connected to the to the street foot path via the board walk. On the southern side of the site is allocated for Yacht docks, and the northern side would be used for water sports and greenery.    

Process 3

Exoskeleton experimentation.

Process 2

Process 1

After class today I was advised to explore the possibly of an exo-skeleton after my desk crit. 

• The black mass if my auditorium.
• The glass enclosure on the ground level is the Lobby/ Lounge area.
• The elevated glass structure is my restaurant area.

Sketches

Sketch #1 is square footage for the main seating and preforming area of the Theatre and Auditorium.

Sketch #2 is hotel rooms + access square footage.

Sketch #3 I compared a hotel guest rooms to my hotel guest rooms square footage, so I can decide on how many rooms to provide.

Sketch #4 is my first floor guest rooms layout in connection to my restaurant and theatre.

Sketch #5 is my building's rough gross square footage.

Sketch #6 is a quick guest room layout and area.

Sketch #7 is calculations of how many rooms can fit on my site on the first floor level.

Sketch #8 is a quick massing of how the main spaces connect.

Sketch #9 is my attempt of floor to floor height of sketch #8.

Revised Bubble Diagram & Matrix

Elevation / Section - Initial

This elevation shows, linear, circular, elements from my model. I used the sail wires as features on the hotel rooms facade.

Keep in mind that this is still a work in progress.

Plans - Initial

My initial plans show that my building is elevated one story above street level.
