Exercise ANALYSIS: 1/ AnalysisHISTORY: of Downtown Syracuse DOWNTOWN SYRACUSE Historical Morphology of Downtown Syracuse Aly T Abdel Baky, Nahall Ghodsi, Ximeng Luo, Chay Phelps, Hannah Roser
This analysis consisted of a focus on Syracuse, New York’s Central Business District and how its architecture plays a role in the urban context. Our group centered our focus on the history of this area and how significant events, and changes in techechnology effected the morphology of the not only specific public squares but the city as a whole. I took particular interest in the historically preserved Columbus Circle which contains a rich background and holds many “urban artifacts” as defined by Aldo Rossi in “The Architecture of the City”. Through investigation, It can be concluded that the change in technologies like transportation and the major events which occurred in Syracuse have greatly affected the city and the surrounding architecture.

EXERCISE 1
Columbus Circle : Transportation, Functional Change, Morphology, Urban Artifacts
Historical events and changes in technology of Downtown Syracuse directly effected both the morphology and the function of Columbus Circle. As trolley lines and railroads became outdated and were removed, this plaza evolved from being a traffic circle to a thriving public space. Additionally, many areas we can define as “urban artifacts� exisit within this space in which functional changes occur but the form is preserved. These occurances though similar to those of other plazas create a specific identity for Columbus Circle.

Library Circle existed as an intesection between East Onondaga street, East Jefferson Street, and Montogomery street where East Onondaga cut directly though the area.
St.Mary’s Circle (currently known as Columbus circle) serves as a traffic circle in a quiet residential area.
The Italian-American community donates money and builds the Columbus monument. St.Mary’s Circle is renamed Columbus Circle.

The plaza is enlarged and the fountain is redesigned. Public benches and trees are added. The site becomes a popular meeting area and the site of many festivals.

Exercise 2/ Analysis of Buildings and Their Facades Taking the factors investigated in Exercise 1, Sou Fujimoto’s Musashino Art Museum and Library was analyzed regarding not only its place in an urban context but also the characteristics of its facade. In struggles to define a distinguished front facade due to the fact that this building is made primarily of a wrapping bookshelf structure, my partner and I came to the conclusion that the facade instead wraps itself inwards to create the interior spaces. As we based our analysis on this initial discovery, we further alalyzed how this along with aterials and openings in the facade mediate views, circulation and program.

Exercise 3/ Designing an Urban Building In the final exercise, each student was to design an archive to be built on one of 3 sites in the Downtown Syracuse area. Taking into consideration the surrounding context I focus my design on framing specific moments in the city. Going forwards I advance my design based on how the window can act as an interface between the interior and the exterior. Using the two- dimentional means of constructing a perspective on paper, I use architectural elements to bring this system to 3 dimensions and exaggerate the views. I discovered that not only do these techniques create viewing apparatuses, but they mediate a circulation path throughout the archive and determine where programs fit into the whole.
