-> I will be researching schools, dormitories, and hotel spaces.
Why are you researching these building typologies?
-> I have researched school space in the past but I have not designed for a site on the shoreline. I also have not researched about hotel spaces on the immediate shoreline so I am interested in finding out how to design adequate space with difficult conditions.
What is the specialties of these building types you would like to research?
-> School/ Dormitories
I would like to focus on a fine arts and design school that has lots of space for students to express their creative genius without losing their aesthetic due to obstacles such as limited space, transportation, etc.
-> Hotel
I would like to give the guest of this space an alternative view of Manhattan and also experience a quieter area to rest their head without having to deal with the chaos of the city.
What are the examples that you will be researching?
-> I will only list a few existing buildings or ideas below:

(more examples will be displayed at a later date)
What are your goals for working with these building types?
-> My goals for working with these building types are to get more people to enjoy another side of NYC instead of the main borough of Manhattan and also bring back life to an area of Brooklyn that does not get as much exposure.
What are the program elements that you see included at this point in your building?
-> I will have to revisit this question after analyzing my research.
These are three different typologies, - you could combine the school and dorm, but the three of the working together is very unique and may be too big of a project.
ReplyDeleteThe research part that you are currently working on is to find six examples to analyze. This could be a couple schools and a couple dorms, the more specific you are with what kind of school is going to help your project be successful.
I agree with Professor Bouratoglou. If you do an educational facility for the arts with a residence hall it should be plenty. Hotels and dormitories are very similar. So you can combine the two.

Very unique idea. An educational facility for the arts with a residence hall is a great idea. I agree with your professors that taking on all three may be to large of a project to tackle. I'm very interested to see what will happen.
