Phase 2 Review

Overlap: Each individual unit is clearly not on a contemporary grid like system, some of the spaces overlap vertically but don’t intersect and interact.
Intersect: each unit is oriented differently than its adjacent one potentially shares a balcony with another unit, intersecting and combining spaces
Merge: Marina City serves to be a complex that you’d theoretically never have to leave, merging as many of life’s necessities (lodging, shopping, exercise, etc.) as possible into one complex.
Blend: This orphanage blends all gender and age groups into the same structure, and even though they are separated into different wings of the building, the building overall represents a blend of different ideas and experience.
Mix: A similar concept to Marina City, River City serves to mix and combine multiple purposes into one building like shopping, lodging, office space and health clubs.
Weave: The circulation around and through the building nest represents weaving through its multiple different paths to get to the same destination.
Bind: The arrangements of this building forces the user to look at one specific moment on the site, binding your eyes to look one specific direction.
Laminate: the separation of public, semi public and private spaces by each individual section/ floor creates a lamination off different uses and intentions.
Gather: The multiple public spaces all throughout the site at different elevations encourages the users to gather and interact with each other.
Bundle: A building that serves multiple purposes to accommodate for its users so they have no need to leave the complex is bundling these purposes/ uses into one continuity.
