Technical Assignment 2

Comparison of Dimensions

My studio partner, Jake, had a future use scenario involving the project turning into a food pantry and transportation center. In order to optimize the design for both the current laboratory/classroom use case as well as the future food pantry/transit use case, the design had to be refined by optimizing the location of cores. These cores, with their egress stairs, had to be located in such a manner as to not interfere with either use case. In the top-right corner, a first iteration of the lab had a stair core at the extreme upper right of the massing. Here, it has been moved to the bottom (south) of the lab tower and tucked in, since the future cafeteria we imagine to be located at that side of the building needs to access daylight, as seen in Jake’s technical assignment.

Universal Design

The project is universally circulation corridors and with limited mobility need building is compromised. a minimum of turns needed

Approach

universally welcoming to all users through clear, open and prioritization of elevator users. Occupants need not feel that their spatial satisfaction in the compromised. We do this by ensuring elevator users have needed to access their circulation paths of choice.
