Seaport, Boston, MA.

Concept

The contrast between the built environment and green space is why the neighborhood of Seaport is a thriving place for human interaction. For the NEXT office the concept aims to reflect the diversity and fusion of Seaports industrial buildings and its outdoor parks to curate Seaport’s human experience. The goal of the space is to create a balance between the man made and natural experiences for a collaborative, functional and flexible work environment.

Axon Diagram

This is an initial block digram to show the different types of spaces and their relationship with each other in the space. The yellow spaces are meant for showing to the public sense they are on that lower level close to the curtain wall. The green space is for interactions and casual breaks . The blue is for spaces to learn and debrief on what they were taught.

INITIAL SKETCHING & PARTI DIAGRAM

Sketches of initial thoughts on how the space could benefit from a open flow circulation path. After researching nursing clinics, a good circulation path was essential for creating a productive and successful environment.
