4.1 ROOF SCULPTURES_DESIGN POINTS

DESIGN PROMPT WRITTEN FOR JUXTAPOSITION’S ENVIRO DESIGN LAB 2013: The back of the property includes an underground parking garage.

The roof of this garage totals 8396 square feet and is on the same level as the first floor of the rest of the housing development. A thin concrete layer, the roof was not designed to support additional loads on top from pedestrian traffic, trees, etc.

The large rooftop space presents an opportunity for a large public art addition that will create visual interest from both close up and far away. Your proposal should engage passerby traveling at various speeds as well as people living in the apartments.

The design must also create a conversation between what is “above” (a sculpture, canopy, etc.) and “below” (textured or colored ground, cast shadows, etc.).

No part of the design should obstruct any of the building windows or hinder maintenance and repair of the rooftop.

The second component of the rooftop space is a fence that will prevent access to first floor apartments and will discourage people from walking on the roof. Your design will be in the form of an addon to a standard chain link fence. Again, the design should not present an obstacle to maintenance and repair of the fence/rooftop.

Keep in mind the relationship between the two main components of the rooftop space (sculpture and fencing).

A successfu design will be both visually appealing and durable.
