The site is comprised of two streets forming an irregular angle on the north and east sides and the Bushwick Inlet cutting away to form the south and west sides. The irregular angle is due to the convergence of three city grids on our site, all of which are taking equal prominence and lacking order. My project seeks to define a new, rational set of rules for shaping the site and surrounding areas through the transition from old to new and overall gentrification of the area. Taking cues for the Neoplasticism movement, there is a bounding box subdivided into four zones, pertaining to program, that form a hierarchy from the street corner to the park. The spaces dividing these zones are large open atriums that imply a path from the city into the park by means of the building and encourage public interaction with the fire station. The building itself is subdivided into different spaces at regular angles and in ways that further imply a grid through the entire space.
