04 The Great Outdoor
Design steps
Site location: New York City 2020 Fall Group Work Instructor: Luc Wilson Architecture Typologies, Urban design, Computational design
Design goal
Building typologies
Set grid system options + urban density
Input social distance data per household
Network analysis in 3D circulation
In the wake of a global pandemic, communities desperately seek out public areas, particularly open space. Yet, the overall activity for the city lagged. Achieve the extreme urban comfort of outdoor public spaces and explore their relationship to the building typologies and urban fabric layout during Pandemic.
