ASSIGNMENT 2: BUILDING TYPOLOGY

1.  Which building typology you are researching?

The building typology that I will be researching for this semester will be a community center. A community center is a place in which people from a particular community can gather up to socialize about any concerns that occur during the community. A community center is also a center that has educational actives as well as indoor and outdoor activities for every one of all ages.

2.  Why are you researching this building typology?

The reason why I am researching this building typology is because I would like to provide Red Hook with a facility that would engage more people to visit and spend more time in Red Hook. The community center will have varies of activities for all ages.

3. What is the specialty of this building type you would like to research i.e.   museum for dance, school for digital media…

The specialty of this building type would be a community center with indoor and outdoor sports incorporate in the building for kids of all ages to use along with the adults. The community center can be considered a place where you can exercise, relax, and even do homework in a learning center.

The community center will have various activities that will be available throughout the majority of the day. It will have indoor and outdoor activities. My goal is to design a facility that will include different programs all in one facility to encourage people to visit it and want them to come back again.

6.  What are the program elements that you see included at this point in your building? (may  evolve once more research is done)

The program elements that I would include in this building will be a pool, multi-purpose room, gymnasium, office, learning center, a game room, classroom, restroom, and a café more TBD. 

Wanted Site

The site in which I would like to construct a new facility in is site #3. The reason why I would like to design and construct a facility for site 3 is because it has beautiful and amazing views such as the view to the Statue of Liberty, Governors Island and Manhattan Skyline. In addition to this amazing views there is Louis Valentino Jr. Park next to the site. I like Site 3 because it has a unique shape and its located near the edge of the water which allows viewers to see the Cruise, Boats and Water Taxi riding along the Hudson River.
