07 NAVY YARD INFORMATION HUB<br />
This was a group project for studio 402, “Comprehensive<br />
Building Design Studio.” We were to design an information<br />
hub for one of three areas of Southeast Washington D.C.<br />
The area we chose was “the Navy Yard.” The Navy Yard is<br />
an area of D.C. previously dedicated to the construction<br />
of navy ships. Considering the previous use of the site we<br />
decided to investigate the construction of a ship and utilize<br />
the ships main structural element (the ribs) to inspire our<br />
design. We realized that a more compelling design would<br />
be a sculptural representation of a ship’s ribs rather than a<br />
replica of the entire ship. The design of the site utilized four<br />
types of space: the main hub on the upper right corner of<br />
the site, an activity space on the upper left, a shade garden<br />
in the lower left and a sun garden in the lower right. The<br />
majority of the information would be received just outside<br />
the hub on touchscreen panels. The interior of the hub<br />
would consist of a bar dedicated to receiving specialty<br />
information, as well as a rest room.<br />
