PROJECT 1 Tobacco Warehouse Project Description: Brooklyn Bridge Park is seeking to rehabilitate and redevelop the former Tobacco Warehouse (the “Site”) located in the Empire Fulton Ferry Park section of Brooklyn Bridge Park (the “Park”) on Water Street between Dock Street and New Dock Street. The purpose is to create a new quality year-round facility in the Park to house cultural, educational and community uses. The new facility should activate the Park and serve as the home to a new arts organization that will also provide public programming both at the Site and the Park.
Before approaching the site and designing, students are required to conduct research and studies toward multiple public buildings, parks and entertainment complexes. Student Tu Nguyen and Tia Johnson are chosen to study Parc de la Villette designed by Bernard Tshchumi in Paris, France, 1922.

PRECEDENT STUDY: PARC DE LA VILLETTE BY: TIA JOHNSON AND TU NGUYEN Parc de la Villette was designed by Bernard Tshchumi in development project in competition in 1922. The park has become known as an unprecedented type of park, one based on cultural interaction rather than establishing natural connection. The project was completed in 1998 in Paris, France. The competition for the Parc de la Villette was the first competition in recent architectural history to set forth a new program – that of the urban park proposing that the juxtaposition and combination of a variety of activities encourage new attitudes and perspectives.

the follies are placed according to a pointgrid coordinate system at 120-meter intervals. They provide a common denominator for all events generated by the program. Each is essentially a 10x10x10 meter cube or 3 story construction of neutral space which can be transformed and elaborated according to specific programmatic needs. Grid system: the folly grid is related to a larger coordinate structure (the coordinates), an orthogonal system of high-density pedestrian movement which marks the site with a cross. The north-south passage or coordinate links the two Paris gates and subway stations; the east-west coordinate joins Paris to its suburbs. An open covered structure runs the length of both coordinates.

PROJECT 2 precedent study Description: each group of two students are asked to study and analyze one firehouse that had been built or designed in the past. Analysis refers to the process of uncovering underlying systems of organization in a project, entails the examination of the project’s constituent parts, interpretation of these parts, and the conclusions drawn in the process of reassembling the work. Students are required to look for a big idea, an overriding concept that seems to explain the countless small decisions made at every level of design (massing, structural interval, cladding system, circulation strategy, etc.). To look critically at these issues in a canonical work of architecture may demystify the process of design, allowing students to build your own critical view of architectural practice.

Description: Student Tu Nguyen and Daniel Calderon were required to study and analyze German architect Werner Seligmann’s project: Olean Central Fire Station (1980). The project is located at North Union St, Olean (NY).

PROJECT 3 fire station Description: The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) is modernizing its facilities throughout the Five Boroughs. The FDNY has designated Brooklyn Heights as an area of rapid growth and in need if a new Fire Station. This new state-of-the-art facility will allow the FDNY to better serve this vibrant and expanding community. Regarding design, the FDNY states the following; “Department facilities span a construction period of more than 100 years. Seventy percent of FDNY’s firehouses are more than 70 years old, with an average age of 79 years. FDNY has always built its facilities to suit local neighborhood characteristics, with most carefully designed by teams of architects sensitive to artistic design trends. Proudly, 10 percent of FDNY facilities throughout New York City enjoy landmark status.” It is your job to think of this new Fire Station not only for today, but for the future. The new Fire Station is southwest of the Tobacco Inspection Warehouse site at the end of Water Street, at the corner of Old Fulton Street and Everit Street. The site is flat and is approximately 70’-0” x 140’-0” with a 50’-0” x 50’-0” leg reaching around an existing 5-story building toward Furman Street to the west. An open space of 70’-0” x 40’-0” is to remain for a Memorial Garden and Park. The site is strategically located to provide immediate access to Water Street, Old Fulton Street and Furman Street and quick access to the BQE, Brooklyn Bridge and other important arterial streets. The site is bound by Old Fulton Street to the North, Everit Street to the East and Doughty Street to the South. An existing 5-story brick and limestone building stands to the West and a 12-story concrete and masonry warehouse building to the South. The existing buildings on the site will be removed in their entirety.

After visiting the site, Students are asked to develop concept models showing program elements and intentions with the site. Following 4 models (3 schemes and mid-review Scheme) show the concept and developing of three volumes relate and interlock one another.
