Plot plan and floors

I have decided to build on blocks 200 and 201 of  Brooklyn, because I think that this will give me enough space to integrate my parti into the design of the building, and enough space for all of my programs.

Examples of hotel suite dimensions

This image gives us an example of the size of a suite in a hotel.

Section diagram #2

Section number 2 is perpendicular to the number 1 section. In this section we can see how some of the spaces span longer on this section than in the first section, that means that they take more advantage of the facade and window access. We can also see how the top roof does not cover the restaurant at this point and the observation deck (shown with the faded roof slab indicating that it is distant). This is to give a and create a mood of openness, as it serves the purpose of the observation deck. The same principle is used on the first floor,but this time to create a welcoming feeling that would lure the visitor further inside.

Section diagram #1

In this section diagram, it is made clear that I have made many moves and decisions when it comes to the orientation and distribution of the spaces. The bank on the first levels, the school of finance on the second followed by the stock trading floor, the hotel and on the last level the main restaurant and the observation deck. The observation deck would, for obvious reasons, be facing the beautiful and famous skyline of down-town Manhattan, with the Brooklyn bridge adding beauty to the already spectacular view.

Bubble diagram for School of Finance and Stock Trading Floor

In this bubble diagram I have mixed the Trading Floor with the School of Finance. The reason behind this mixture has to do with the obvious relationship they have towards each other. The students can get a hands on experience on the material they are learning, and it also serves the stock traders with continuing education.

Bubble diagram for Hotel

These spaces portray those found clustered

in the matrix for the hotel.

Bubble diagram for Restaurant and Observation Deck

In this bubble diagram I have mixed the different spaces

of the restaurant and the observation deck.

Bubble diagram for Bank

This is the part of my program 

that is solely related to the bank spaces.

Matrix

study models

 The following five pictures illustrate the 10 study models together. in these picture we can appreciate how they complement each other with their differences and similarities.

Concept model 1

Here we have the first study model.

This model gives a feeling of intimacy and of being inclosed.

Concept model 2

 This model was inspired by the sense of extrusion 

found in many buildings of the concept board.

Concept model 3

This third model expresses the zig-zaging pattern

of a few of the examples on the concept board.

 Concept model 4

 This model was inspired from some of the elements, in buildings found in the concept model, that have the shape of a wing. The material lets light through, which is an ability a lot of the buildings in the concept board posses.

 Concept model 5

 This concept model was derived form the concept of openness combined with hierarchy.

The vertical elements represent hierarchy, and the way they are spaced, along with the perforated material, represent the openness and lighting.

 

 Concept model 6

 This set of triangles in this concept model portray hierarchy and the concept of elements supporting each other. The smaller triangle is being supported by the bigger triangles to its sides.

 Concept model 7

 This concept model was derived with the concept extrusion and hierarchy.

 Concept model 8

 This model by inspired by the by the glass curtain walls 

many of the buildings in the concept board have.

 Concept model 9

 This pattern of triangles was taken form some of the buildings in the concept board.

This pattern demonstrates hierarchy, and in the process creating different visual effects.

 Concept model 10

 This concept model was made out of inspiration from the tall towers in the concept board.

This model expresses the openness with its open shape and the amount of light it lets through with the perforations.
