Week 3

I believe in developing a functional approach to the school that works with the overall fabric of the city, as well as becomes an effective weave of different pedestrian and vehicular needs. The resulting morphology speaks as a defining factor for almost doing the job for me and deciding where to place my buildings.

The preliminary SketchUp model is created after looking at the resultant voids in the fabric of the roads. The next step is to run a wind simulation and determine how well the massing works with the wind on site - does it create any wind tunnels? Could the building be tweaked to take advantage of the dominant winter/summer wind directions? All answers that I hope to answer by the start of next week.
