The Continuity

The site is located on the edge of Brooklyn Greenpoint, as well as in between historical and industrial inlet. Where my design is based off the idea that every sectional move is related to the ground condition, my plan is one continuous maze-like building divided into three sections that each represents a program. The building is also design in this way to give the neighbors to walk in a direction from the history world of brooklyn to the view of industrial world of New York at the same time the connection points of the design is where the most amazing part would be. You enter from the side of Greenpoint where the residential part is located at as well as the more private area that represent the industrial part of Greenpoint with the material that used for this part. Then encounters the first glass box which is used for connecting the residential program to the apparatus bay; the glass box is used as a greenhouse to transfer the warmth into both sides of app bay and residents. On the other side, you will be coming out from the Museum area that lead you to the open outdoor garden which gives you a great scene of Manhattan. The fire station furthermore explains how the design dealt with post-industrial artifacts, as well as dealing with the sustainability. The design purpose is to communicate with the locals and the current conditions of the site, combining the issues together and create its own narrative.
