Concept Development-Part One

Impression of Site
The site seems very desolate and cut off from the movement and noise of the city. There is a mix match of new and old warehouses and storage areas. It seems to be in a transitional phase with a strong presence of small businesses.
Program
The organization of my building will facilitate the healing process by offering the necessary support needed to go from addiction to clean living. This will be achieved through group and individual activities such as: group therapy sections, group and individual exercise, spa and pool accommodation, kayaking, and fishing. My program will be prepared to deal with the ups and downs of addiction rehabilitation.
"Potential"

Red Hook may not look it now but with a little elbow grease and the right tools its has the potential to attract both locales and tourists. To represent this idea I chose images that I feel embody: hope, calculation, goal setting, growth, diversity, and ingenuity, all subcategories to the bigger picture.

  1. Nita, these are great but what are they? What do they mean? Can you please describe your assignment, and tell us WHY these images!

  2. Great choice of images, I look forward to seeing how you translate the states of emotion, character of objects and spaces into the architecture...you have identified the activities both existing and proposed, I wonder how your architectural concept will enable this all to happen... ?
