LONG OCCUPANCY
What is considered public vs private takes into account what functions are reserved for members of the faculty such as fabrication labs, as well as secure access (eg maker spaces and computer labs). It also considers whether the usage of the programs extends to students outside the MSD faculty. After plotting the key programs for the building on a graph comparing privacy and duration of occupancy, I was able to subdivide them at different thresholds. This enabled me to begin to translate these spaces into 3D. Exceptions to this scheme are Fab Lab and library, which are to be placed on ground floor/basement. This is for ease of access to services and deliveries.
