Brooklyn - Williamsburg Waterfront Kindergarten
Roof plan of kindergarten with skylight attractors that were determined by the direction of the circulation pattern. Circulation responds to varying light conditions and an awareness of specific lighting conditions & views of the Brooklyn waterfront / Manhattan skyline.
A section of a classroom located toward the center of the kindergarten. The attractors, applied along horizontal axes, created a controlled porosity in the surfaces of the kindergarten. The closer the surface to an attractor, the more porosity created. This allowed light to enter into areas as determined by programmatic function, such as the play areas and classrooms.
Perspective view of kindergarten from waterfront.
Lateral section showing the ability to circulate through each floor. Staircases are sloped elevations that connect and support each “branch” of kindergarten that contains classrooms.
Longitudinal section showing division of the three main areas that have changing light levels from dark to light.
Lateral perspective section describing play areas on all three floors and the ‘groundscape.’
Second Bristol model investigating varying levels of porosity.
First Bristol model created with strips that contain set control points used to create porosity in certain areas and to allow sight & view blockage.
Site analysis model describing a type of ‘magnetism’ created by control point ‘cognizance’ and ‘blockage’ vectors.
