Program layout Process

 3D Model in Rhino (View from the water/FDR)

 3D Model in Rhino (View from the Brooklyn Bridge)

  Section of program layout based on the cut section of the rhino model.
There are couples of main spaces indicated in different colors.
The left side of the section is more intent to be open/public space, while the right side of the section is more acting like a enclose/private space.The lobby/entrance space is right in the middle. The main performance space will be start at the second level.
 Section layout sketch-1: Based on the color coded layout, the grand stair will exist on the left side after enter the building. The second and main performance space will be located adjacent to the stair. Potential fire stairs will be located on both end of the building.

Section layout sketch-2: A larger scale of the section cut showing how the solid (theater) and void (circulation) are playing in the building. Material would be under consideration to form the spaces. A further consideration: the wrapping exterior circulation path can be go beyond the FDR and make connection to the park and pier across the street.

  1. The logic and sectional investigation here are phenomenal!!! With the opportunity afforded by the waterfront, try to open up even more and capitalize on the amenity. Any gesture will be good.

    While the colored sectional diagramme is great, take a moment to contemplate the support spaces and ancillary spaces that a functional building would need as well. I am sure it happens elsewhere (deeper and shallower in the section), but a theatre needs a lobby that enters bot levels, top and bottom. Now is a good time to get back into plan and work that end for a moment. It will inform the 3-D investigation which is the weakest element in this post.

  2. Rendering parts of your model with the same colors that you used in your section will make it easy to read and at the same time it will show you how different spaces / volumes relate to their immediate surroundings. This in turn will allow you to investigate further the connection of your building to the site. Also, I look at your section diagram and I wonder if you have considered the idea to have more than just an entrance and a lobby at that point of your building?
