Moving Forward

On Tuesday we presented three schemes for the film archive.  The main concepts that I am working with came from the site mapping, using the street edge for the building site.  One model had the building following the street space opposite the Carpenter Center, while the other one stood over the street.  Both were raised up so that pedestrians have to travel through the building (underneath) to pass into Harvard Yard.  It is intended to increase the transition space of the gates that I originally looked at.  Suggestions for combining the schemes included using the Carpenter Center side street edge to help create building form on the other side of the street.  For tomorrow I have to look at the form more three dimensionally and how it can change both in plan and sectionally.  \
