Arts and Crafts Museum & Maker Space
DESCRIPTION
This is a preliminary design for an arts and crafts museum space located along Huntington Avenue in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston. It serves as both production and exhibit space, and provides needed community space. Resources should be locally sourced and elements of the building should be creatively repurposed where possible. The site is in a densely occupied urban area of Mission Hill. There is limited green space, and heavy pedestrain, vehicle and train transit.
The design should consider how to bring life back into the site, which is currently an asphalt parking lot.
Environmental design considerations include solar access, passive heating and cooling, restoring air quality with abundant trees and plantings and site specific material choices.
