Considering the future development of diverse urban fabric of Boston, the issue of Olympic and post-Olympic is what we are going to deal with. Along with the sea level rise problem, these kinds of event influent urban development. Modern architects stand in the ongoing dynamic process of human activity and environment changing. What we need to do is not only dealing with the problems for now, but fully considering the flexibility and resilience of the building for future use. Inspired by Kahn’s “served” and “servant” spaces strategy, we are trying to find an integrated solution which solves problems mechanically and programmatically.
Scenario Planning The 100 Acres Master Plan envisions an active, mixed-use neighborhood in Boston anchored by eleven acres of public open space and over five million square feet of development. The comprehensive plan is the culmination of a five year collaboration between architects, planners, residents, property owners, City and State agencies and other stakeholders. ADD Inc established urban planning and architectural guidelines to enable various owners to maximize land value while achieving the City of Boston’s goals. The plan envisages a dynamic and diverse architectural fabric that contrasts new construction with existing early 20th century warehouses while providing pedestrian access to the water, new open spaces and ample parking for the proposed program. By weaving a mix of uses with pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, the 100 Acres Master Plan advances an urban vision for this emerging neighborhood.

For the East Facade, the overhang system doesn't block too much sun. The double skin spaces in the winter become a buffer between outside and interior since the black stone material hanging on the wood frame wall observing solar energy and heating the double skin space.
