Building Typologies

1.  Which building typology you are researching? 

I will be looking into hospitals or clinics for my building typology.

2.  Why are you researching this building typology?

I am interested in researching this type of building and feel that the developing Red Hook area would benefit from it.

3.  What is the specialty of this building type you would like to research.

I will only be able to answer that question after I do more research on what a clinic vs. a hospital will offer the area.

4.  What are the examples that you will be researching.

5.  What are you goals for working with this building type?

My goal for this building is to design a efficient yet attractive building that will benefit its surrounding both through its services and its appeal.

6.  What are the program elements that you see included at this point in your building? 

I see elements typically present in hospitals/clinics incorporated into my design. Elements such as a lobby, waiting area, patient rooms, labs, security areas, and a cafeteria.

I Will be using site 2 because of its location to the water and a small park. Site 2
