The Urban Myth New Program


*note* I can only access the "New Post" button on blogger right now. If there's any mistakes in this blogging I would like to apologize in advance.

PROGRAMS

After discussions and critiques from Ajarns, I've decided to propose another program into the site to generate more activity, hence making more energy than it already is. Since the width of the stair case on ground level is only 4 meters wide, excluding the space the street furnitures occupy.

Therefore, I decided to expand the boundary out to the vacant area for a little bit, (also occupying more street furniture)

Plan showing surrounding building and vacant space.


The programs I'm proposing are : on normal occasions, the site will also serve as a co-working space where you can come to work in public or in private and when there's a festival or any special occasion, the space can be turned into a place for celebrating and partying. The scaffolding structure now allows users to go up to another level, which will be connected to a working space (which is connected to the public park and vice versa)

This space shows similar resemblance to the middle core where people can access to the second level (Cr. MOMA Ps1 Wendy)


The elevated space will perform different programs and it will ultimately generates energy from the users as well as give the energy to the users to charge their laptop, phones or any electrical devices.

2 sections cut at different levels

Section of the personal or public box space.


The space can be used as a working space playing with the idea of private and public also.




Functioning-wise, it would be better to have a ring that can sort out all the wires to keep the electrical and compressed air out of the way. Below is a sample ring truss structure that I've been meaning to use in the design and it also marks visually where the main core is to the users along the site.
