process on facade



This is my process in trying to connect the other side of my facade that resembles water which is curves.The curved side is whats facing the Brooklyn Bridge. I tried to connect the triangulated shape as well as the curves.

Facade Process

This is a process of my facade of the triangulated shape Its actually more of a pyramid shape that's facing the brooklyn park. This is not final some of these will be windows  , the floors that are extruded out from the facade is balconies of the hotel rooms. I used a side of the building curved outward towards the park almost a way of trying to get closer to the beautiful view. I also used a metallic material to reflect the site on the building.

STUDIES OF FACADE


This is the process of trying to pursue the idea of the triangular windows with the curves that represent the water . This is just a process of trying to find a pattern with my building.

SECTION REDONE


I DID MY SECTION AGAIN BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE GUEST ROOMS ARE GETTING THE VIEW OF THE WATER AND THE PARK.

TAKING CONCEPT FURTHER WITH REASONING

THIS DIAGRAM SHOWS HOW MY CONCEPT WILL RELATE TO THE SITE IN MORE DETAIL, SHOWING WHERE SHAPES GO AND WHY.

CONCEPT IDEAS IN PROCESS



WITH THIS MODEL I TRIED TO THINK OF THE VIEWS HOW THEY ARE SURROUNDING THE WATER..

THIS MODEL IS ALSO ANOTHER IDEA OF A STUDY SHOWING THE TRIANGULAR SHAPE WORKING WITH THE WAVY SHAPE OF THE FACADE.
