Review notes

Basement structure (Emma has this)
Views from the top floor
Larger overhang entryway into building (east side) (openness/connection/shelter)
WHY are we pulling the new building forward
Shading vs views
Service needs for Allen and Friendly
Permeability
Get the topography for the SE corner — site section

Include trees in our 3D massing and axons (did we forget some types?)
Create a structural section of intersection between bridge and Allen hall
Bridge = new material
- What feeling do we want it to embody (an actual bridge? A passageway? A lounge area? An attraction?) base material off of what type of feeling
- Look into current “bridge” of Allen hall between the old and 2013 have that help influence
- Look at south facade of allen to help with bridge intersection
Create a larger entryway (facade study)
In structural 3D model:
- Change structure in basement and floor connection to be concrete
- “Nuisance plan a bit more in structure” (hard for a grid to accommodate all different programs – subdivide grid)
Looking a bit more ~ experientially ~
- Top floor will be the most separated from the ground (most affected by winter and most distant from buzz of campus)
- I’ve set up a hierarchy of people ?? stop ?
- “Use a finer siv to stitch this building together”
Programming doesn’t need to be “so clean” – because it will change over time, take into account some fluidity
Uniqueness of the facade and its varying materials (ie tiles) : figure out how to express this on the inside as well
Want to account for “graceful aging”
Clarify entrance points
Precedent : look at pathway directly East of our place
Centerpiece of project: SE side. What’s going on the inside of this corner space? What will the massing and facade look like?
Ignacio says: don’t throw this away but it is garbage. Go onto iteration 2 & 3 now
Currently, no interaction between site & building & floors. Section has no quality. Needs interaction between floors and between the inside/outside
If we’re retaining the walkway, use campus pattern strategy to not only retain the good things, but make them better. How will our bridge and the transparency of our building & program nearest to the walkway improve upon the circulation space?
