Accordin gly all t he aper tures, and arc hi tec tur al el em ents follow the same grid, with some exception when the program interrupts the logic. The photography galler y star ts from a narrow entrance that has visual connection with the city then it becomes semi-private by moving for ward and entering the cour tyards is a private condition, although not entering the cour tyard will result in a completely public.

The site is located at 10th street and Market street intersection. Understanding the movement and its speed through urban spaces and its relationship with the height of buildings, urban density, traffic are the main concerns.

The site is an existing parking lot at the corner of O’Farrell Street and Mason Street. The existing programs includes rental car offices and 8 levels of parking lots. The proposed use of the lot is a combination of 9 Airbnb units and 23 sections for the Amazon sor tation center based on SF zip codes, with a choice of including or excluding the parking lots. These 3 different programs in one site have distinctly varied functions and require a set of different spatial qualities.
City as Multiple explores multiplicity in terms of existence of different characteristics and users within the same space and their relationship with one another. The form of the plan comes from a series of data analysis from the site. The openness of plans increases the interaction of users and their chance to explore the unknown. Providing an experience in which individuals can make various decisions to move through the space and sudden surprises within the space is the main goal of City as Multiple.
