SUSPENDED CIRCULATION A “suspended,” continuous volume of circulation acts as the distributor to all the other program. The base for this concept was the fact that a high school is so much about the movement of students and their use of the in-between spaces and the “hallway” condition. An opposite, exterior “hallway” condition was then established as a secondary route. The relationship between these hallway conditions and the programmed spaces could potentially be interesting as well.
3 1 DOWNTOWN DUAL PLAZA
2
Frontage and the urban condition inspired the plaza concept. Because the site is such an urban condition, how does that affect entry and access into the school? The concept maintained a soft entrance and established an urban plaza space that could not only be for public space or a green space but could also establish views and begin to set the programmed spaces up based on orientation and connection to this urban plaza.
WALKWAY COURTYARD The walkway courtyard concept was an off-shoot of the urban plaza idea but had more to do with an interior, continuous “courtyard� volume which implied views through the site as well as movement through the site. Formally, the concept established separate program volumes on either side and a voidspace in the middle where connectors would occur. A spiral circulation concept established a way to connect each side on every floor as well as create a sort of continuous loop throughout the design.
1 // CONCEPT PROPOSAL The downtown dual plaza scheme was decided to have the most potential although gesture the walkway courtyard were making coukd easily be folded in - a combination fo the two ideas.
2 // REFINED CONCEPT Refining the ideas while maintaining the distilled concepts and applying program and circulation specific needs began to inform the design massing wise. Program adjacencies, movement between zones, and orientation were all considerations beginning to be implied.
3 // DESIGN PROPOSAL Specific square footages and circulation sizing requirements are implied in this stage as well as considerations about light and ventilation (aperature). Simple structural integrity was examined as well. Making sure the two intial concepts were still evident was imperative.
