SPATIAL QUALITIES

JNM complex is composed of many massings and forms a grid organization. Even though the massing was scattered and seemed out of pattern, we could still navigate the way pretty well, even though there’s a vast negative space in the middle. From the uniqueness, we understand that the existings bring certain qualities to the users. These qualities that are mentioned will be put into consideration in further design. Either to be preserved, enhanced, or removed.

Uninviting cause it seems restricted by a gate and hindered

Uninviting caused by a massive wall and the scale of windows are quite small compared to the proportion of the entire building

Unstrategic position, feels restricted caused by the wall

The visitors tend to flock and sit nearby the intervention of JNM Bloc. They sit around, doing passive activities, and are likely to make impulsive purchases. Impulsivity and consumerism behavior would significantly impact human beings if it was seen from a further scope. It led to poor decision-making later in life. Therefore, JNM has to inject not only a program that can profit the organization but also some programs that are responsible for user actions.

This section will discuss the idea that focuses on how the buildings implement the concept of responding to its regional climate—also, the placement of its massing that corresponds to the existing programming.
