Concept Collages

This assignment asks us to make collages that represent certain questions based on the site. My site is Located along the FDR drive around Pace University.

Site Analysis

One for your impression of the site you have selected (not images of the site)

 My interpretation of the site was a center of origin for the surrounding buildings, it can be weak or it can be strong. My interpretation of the man sketching the rubble is him looking at nothing and creating something. As you see the hands with the plant growing out the concrete represent the creative thought i had when i saw the plain dull site. I am the man sketching something out of nothing. The glowing ball represents the contrast between the building being created to all its surroundings, it can compliment the surroundings and still contrast with its neighbors.

 The word “Edge” you will be using  (this example is of “connection”)

        When people think of edge they thing of corners and ends to shape i think of other things. The people jumping off the plane is to represent living on the edge. The champagne bottle exploding means another definition of edge when means to its limits, the bottle has passed its limit. The edge is also the start of something which is represented  the starting line in a race (represents from one edge to another). The football player represents having an edge on someone, He has the edge on his opponent as he has the lead to the end-zone.

One Collage based on the program of your project.

My Project is a Community center but not just for sports or after school but for everything. It would have a small clinic, a basketball court and pool. Also a barbershop, a center for kids ,eatery and lounge areas. This structure will have everything for the community in one convenient area.
