Collages

Before the Models there were collages which was the start of our design. The models were made through here also.

Models to Sketches

My models turned into sketches and the sketches then helped further my design into what it became.

Models

After all the models I was left with only 3 and then those 3 became hybrids. These then helped design my center a ton considering  the main design was based off of these models.

Personal Attachment

Hey there blog viewers!

  Sorry for not posting in so long i've been realll busy with this semester and been working hard on this project, just couldn't find the time. Well before I start to share the over summary of The Seaport Wellness Center  I want to share the places that helped me create certain space in my design.

Kips Bay Boys & Girls Center

-This is space I know pretty well as i used to attend this club during my childhood.Since the program in my design contains a Afterchool Center/Daycare I based a lot of placement of the rooms similar to the ones I went in.

The BarberShop-

     Thou i am an architect student i am also a barber, This is where i work so being that I have a unisex salon in my program I also based my the placement of chairs,circulation and spacing similar to this place.

Jungle Gym-

I also did take up MMA and since I have a MMA gym in my program i also placed the circulation space planning and size from the experience I had here.

    I tried to make this building as convenient as possible since I have personal experience in spaces I have in my program I tired to personalize the program to accommodate needs the spaces may have to fulfill. Especially since I trying to promote relaxation, purity and comfortability out of this center everything has to be bright and spacious.

Design Progress

 I have had trouble on making the concept of this building work with the program I am trying to put into the building. After getting rid of some the program and adding different ones I have finally got a steady design. Now my only obstacles is embracing the glass rectangular prism in the middle with out leaving dead spaces. Plans are still cooking and will be posted soon.
