Renderings—Exterior

The SW corner, is a real gem that not everyone will see. Here the edge of the west facade interacts nicely with the MITS bus station and a few administration parking spots remain which feed into the one way alley shown to the right of the image—adjacent to the building directly to the south. The south facade is covered with metal screens to protect the various means of egress releasing onto the south edge of the site. And maybe best of all, a perfect viewpoint to see the roof form fold and ascend toward the point of the steeple.

// Exterior - NW Corner / MITS Station

Here is view directly next the MITS bus station overhang. You can see the connection to the site on the NW corner as well as planters that act as safety barriers. The further away you are from the site, the more of the roof form you see—and the more intrigued you may be to visit.

The full connection of the west facade and exterior space to the MITS bus station is visible here. Each outreach/homeless shelter room has a private balcony that overhangs next to the outdoor space. The exterior space is a raised public platform with seating and shade from nearby vegetation to give the homeless and others a chance to gather outside.

// Exterior - NW Corner Entrance ‘Intimate’

The NW corner holds the second entrance along the processional corridor axis. This entrance however is an intimate/private entry—which can be used by anyone but is intended for those using the outreach programs. The opposite entrance is the public/ceremonial entrance. Here however, with a smaller door and threshold along with wood materials and human scaled glazing—the emphasis is on the individual. There is also more seating at the steps of the entrance and on the north facade.
