For Monday, Sept. 24

Everyone needs to finalize program type and square footage for program.
60,000 sq. ft. -vehicle lanes and passport control/checkpoint
60,000 sq. ft. -park and recreation with 30% (20,000 sq. ft) dedicated to circulation

As discussed on Friday the park and recreation program has been left open ended and I have provided a variety of program case studies as examples. Some of you may choose to focus on a botanical garden, landscape and water remediation, sports recreation (soccer, skating, basketball, volleyball, playing fields, running paths, etc), art/sculpture park, urban gardening/farming, outdoor entertainment and performance space or atmospheric conditions of water, air sun, and earth. You can make it highly specific or offer a wide range of program types. Take a position on what a international bridge in the future can be – this new bridge type has the opportunity to change the conditions of a border crossing. If you are struggling to make decisions or have questions please let me know immediately.

By Monday at 4pm please email a list of program and dedicated square footage and one paragraph summary stating what your program is and what it means to a bridge which in the past only allowed for vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Continue working through how you organize program and circulation via physical models at 1/32"=1' scale. Requirements for Wednesday's class meeting will relate to these physical models and the translation into plan and section diagrams.
