Building Concept_B

...after a few days of thinking and research, I decided work on a new building concept that would be more architectural so that i could see what other option i have. I used the contour lines to determine the height of each floor. Plus this concept gives me the opportunity to have outdoor spaces for balconies and green roofs.

Building Concept_A

This is my first building concept which is more like a mass that has been eroded by wind and as a result i have the building outside form.

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 .

Wind Study

Below is a sample of wind speed and wind direction study made in the EPA wind tunnel model of lower Manhattan.
