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.

What are your goals for working with this building type?
My goal
for working with this building typology is to design a facility that can allow
people of all ages to have a good and wonderful time every time they come in to
the facility. 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.
Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteIt will be nice to have more community facilities in Red Hook. Especially because the neighborhood is becoming increasingly residential.
That being said, it will be in your best interest to be as detailed and specific as possible. A community center cannot be defined as an umbrella for a myriad of uses that may or may not be related to each other.
What makes your outdoor fields any different than the ones that exist nearby? What makes your pool any different than the one that is already in the neighborhood? What makes your community center any different from the Red Hook Community Justice Center?
You can avoid questions like these by being specific to your intent.
Also, check your grammar. The post is a bit confusing.
