Buildings that are located at corners are usually designed in a way so that the facades that are in relationship to the corners react accordingly to the flow of move-ment on the street. Spaces are created to attract and accommo-date the pedestrians and vehicles that passes by. Instead of reacting only to one side of a building which is the case for most build-ings, buildings that are located in the corners need react to at least 2 sides.
Based on the notion that corner buildings react to various directions and motions, I decided to subtract my building by the open spaces that are formed by the car parks where the site is situatated in. The natural flow of people and cars into the carpark led me to subtract the North-east corner of my building to provide a space that can receive the flow of movement at the corner.

The purpose of the second project in the semester’s sequence is to cloesly analyze urban precedents that parallel my own design products in context and scope.
The primary products of Project Two is a full documentation of the precedent using the architectural conventions of plan, section, elevation, and a three-dimensional analysis of the buildings’ form and program via axonometric projection.

The Site Analysis of 245 W 14th Street is an analytic exploration of the site and its urban contexts. The purpose of this assignment is twofold: First, to further familiarize myself with the New York neighborhoods and sites that I visited by producing drawings, sketches, and photographs that record the physical dimensions and experiental qualities of my site. Second, to determine what architectural and urban issues to explore, and what methodologies will be used for exploring.

Final Project
MIXED USED DEVELOPMENT AND THE CITY
16
This project mainly focuses on three readings of the surround context of 245 West 14th street:
1. The extension of the staircases on the street draws attentions from pedestrians and acts as an interruption to the movement on the street.
2. The zoning requirement on 14th street reuires building to set back as buildings reaches their height limits.
3. The subtraction from the sideway along the street to create below-ground commercial spaces.
After reading my translation of the surrounding context, I incorporated these concepts into my design. The extended entrance way to the gallery from the street interrupts the movement on the street, draws attention to the gallery and divides public and private spaces. The set back of the building provides a more private area for the housing units. Residents are removed from the busy morement on the 14th street. Balconies in the housing units are created by subtracting a number of rectangular boxes from the mass of the building and shifting them to create a noticeable pattern.
