Updated Site and Floor Plans

I have updated the site plan to indicate the axial relationship of the surrounding buildings and street to mine. Also included is the vehicular and pedestrian flows into and around the building.

In updating the site plan I went back over my site observation notes and made a list of the items that I felt influenced the building.

Static Elements that stood out to me were the way in which the streets were layed out at the site. Both Dartmouth and Boylston straight thru with traffic flow only going in one direction.

The buildings while slightly changing due to weathering, remain staitic in there placement along the street scape.

The Dynamic Elements far outnumber the Static. The things that are consitantly changing are the flow of traffic , the pedestrian movement, and the views around the site. On a much larger scale the sun patterns during the day, and the way in which the seasons alter the look of the surrounding buildings. There are also many different ways in which the buildings are articulated, whether that be in massing, details, or materials.

The ground floor has been updated to show the central circulation core that goes to the Technology Store on the upper floor. I have added the layout for the market area using the relationship to Copley Square and bringing that into the building. There is also areas of seating placed inside and outside the building.
The First through Sixth floors are the Technology Store. The floor plans are open with the exception of the static elements that are needed for the store. Divisions on the sales floor will be through movable partitions that will allow the floor plan to constantly change.

The Circulation core will now come through the roof to create a roof observation deck to allow the customers to have a unique vantage point from which to watch the ever changing flow of people below.
