WEEK TWWWWO

This week our schematic development continued to more concrete solutions to our design problems. We are further evaluating the issues concerning seniors and the privacy needs that we need to consider. Our floor plan and block diagrams are focused on the hierarchy of space in relation to the traffic, noise and privacy.

We concentrate our loudest and most active areas towards one side of the building, and as the user moves through the space, they become more private and quiet; specifically for educational programs, medical examinations, and therapeutic treatments. As a group we agree on the central node or meeting area that can then clearly direct the guest to their appropriate location, and are working with larger blocks and adjacencies. The largest block or square footage that we are concentrating on is the kitchen and multipurpose, restaurant and dining space, as well as outdoor seating.
As a group we are collaboratively working to solve the issues of usability with an emphasis on compartmentalization and grouping of similar spaces. We are solving way-finding issues by making each element of the building independently architecturally significant.
This week we are planning on developing a concrete floor plan with different solutions for way finding, and ideation for interior materials. We want to focus on creative ways to divide the spaces without impeding functional mobility.
