A preview of additions to the facade.

A test render of the site (in-progress) with the addition of a green roof/park and to emphasize the building's size to its surroundings.

Test renderings of the exterior and interior of the building from different viewpoints.

Working progress on the longitudinal section of the building, along with an axonometric perspective.

Basement:

The grand stair on the ground floor leads to the basement where the auditorium is located. In order to connect the public/ada elevator I had to create a corridor. But, it resulted in creating an open space instead. This can be used for a communal space or a cafeteria.

Ground & Second:

There are 2 entrances to the building. One located at the front lot and the other on the back lot. The main entrance is located on the main building (back lot). The lobby is embedded with the art gallery at ground level that also connects with the second level art gallery. The communal stair by the art spaces aim towards the view of the Brooklyn bridge.

Third:

Provides offices on the back lot while a lounge is located on the front lot towards the park.

Fourth:

Computer lab & library

5,6,7 :

Studios + SHOPs (Fabrication)

Rooftop:

Provides additional views that visitors will enjoy and that in-house artists can also exhibit outdoor sculptures as well.

This post showcases the connection from the back side to the front side. Initial scheme didn't resolve the connection on the third floor between both sides.

The diagram intends to show how I plan to cantilever the building specific to the portion facing the park. Trusses and a thick concrete wall are the materials that I am considering. The concept is to be able to have that part floating, which provides for a more open park. However, the concrete wall has blocked the entrance to the public core. Perhaps a solution is to create an opening on the concrete mass.
