Concept Design

This assignment we were tasked to create three collage boards showing :
Our Impression of the site
A collage on the word "Connection:"
A collage on the program of our project 

An Impression collage of the the site I selected.

On my visit to the site, my impression was basically empty, because i didn't know what to expect and what to feel about this particular area (Red hook). I wasn't particular sad but just empty inside,because of what i saw. It was a cold and rainy and since the site is located on water's edge,it was quite a windy midday. The area have many factories and old buildings that looks like forts. Approaching the site I noticed the area looked deserted, old and really polluted with trash. The site that I visited was pretty small, it was right against the rocks and water and occupied by a private building.

In conclusion my trip to the site wasn't what i expected with all of the old buildings and garbage, but in the end I felt it was a good experience and the site offered a great view of the Statue of Liberty.

collage based on the word "Connection"

In this collage i focused on the word connection and how it relates to people and how they interact with an enclosed spaces. The lines and circles depicts the circulation path that people take to view a particular space or area and link between two spaces. I also showed the connection with people and the chain to illustrate that something that relates or of the same type can make a connection.

  A collage on the program of my building. (Boat Museum & Community Center

This collage represents the program that i will include in my building. The programs I'm introducing are typical but i think it will attract more people to that specific area in the Red hook and will also benefit the youths and develop the community. The water and branch of the tree shows a relationship that i would like to have in my program with the water and a outdoor patio/green space. I also wanted to introduce the different artifacts and ship parts that is around the Red hook area.
