Developing Building Concept

This is the beginning phase of my mass being eroded by the wind.

Site Wind Analysis

Based on the wind research I've done, most of the wind is coming from the north direction. Great part of the wind comes from the northeast but there is also some wind coming from the northwest.

Wind Research

This wind research will help me determine some of the characteristics and wind forces that will affect building mass .

Design Development

As shown in my previous concept wind is shaping objects in our environment. The same way I want wind to be the major factor that would sort of erode and sculpture the mass shown, which is based on the allowable zoning envelope and give shape to my building.


Redefined Concept

My previous concept parti was more about showing wind, this new parti is more redefined and more presice, its about the effects of wind on a certain object.

MASS MODELS

Some mass models I made of my last sketches to get a better perspective.

SKETCHES

I made some sketches of what I have in mind so far. I will keep working in new ideas and come up with more concepts.

MY CONCEPT

The concept for my building is going to be wind. Wind is moving air, it could take any shape. The power of wind its amazing. It can shape our enviroment and also provide us great benefits.

MY SITE

The site I chose to work on is Manhattan, Peck Slip Its a great location to use my ideas and my concept to develop my design
