We are to answer the following questions:
- Which building typology you are researching
- Why are you researching this building typology?
- What is the specialty of this building type you would like to research? i.e. museum for dance, school for digital media
- What are the examples that you will be researching…? list the examples, location and architect? (10 examples)
- What are your goals for working with this building type?
- What are the program elements that you see included at this point in your building? (may evolve once more research is done)
Such a facility would serve many segments of the population, help to anchor the community, and be a part of its resurgence. Additionally, any project must take advantage and “be worthy” of this unique and historic site. Visibly and programmatically, it must add to the community and streetscape in a positive way, while making sure to be a good neighbor to the historic buildings around it. A makerspace would allow for such a building typology and projects produced there could become an additional attraction for the tourists that flock to the area.
Incorporating various shops and studios: wood, metal, electronics, pottery/ceramics, painting/drawing, sewing/needlework, cooking, along with gallery space, a lounge/snack area, and all the requisite support spaces, I hope to create a landmark building to serve the community while taking advantage of and the site and respecting the historic neighbors.

Interesting typology. Make sure that with your precedent studies you have access to floor plans, elevations and sections, so you will be able to do a thorough analysis, and understand spatial relationships. Have thought of considering Chelsea Market, Baltimore Market, and Seattle Market. All extremely successful, urban revitalization projects.

ReplyDeleteI think that you should relate these buildings with the area in which they were built. How the workshops have influenced the site and how has changed the social and cultural context?
ReplyDeleteSeems like an interesting choice, although it can get difficult to study/analyze as it is not a "classic" typology.
ReplyDeleteGreat advices above: study buildings with drawings available because good pictures often hide more than they show. Pre and post-workshop site conditions for analysis are very helpful.
My only advice at this point would be start consciously with your right foot with the precedent studies, work hard and focus on your objectives.
Hello Mr. Hollander.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is begging for new updates. some of your colleagues have already posted their buildings' analysis and their project bubble diagram.
Is everything ok?
Hope you are working hard and will be posting some of that work soon.
Please don't fall behind because each day that passes by it will become harder to catch up with your colleagues.
Do not be too ambitious with your project deliveries if you're on a limited time frame. Try to be incisive and work smart.
I am looking forward to see your next posts.
Best regards,
