Concept Statement
The idea comes form the ever changing environment and how it effects the inside (program) and outside of the building (context). Based on the movement of such things as people, cars, weather, color and the static and dynamic pressures from within and around the building, the building reacts by projecting a different look in reaction to the changing context. The building will respond to its ever changing environment through the use of computer programs that will change the opacity or shading of the glass, or the color and intensity of the lighting from the inside and outside of the building. This will be a direct reaction to man made manipulation of the colors and opacity from customers using touchscreen panels located throughout the store and on the sidewalk in front of the store. The glass can also be affected by the natural forces such as weather, that occur in and around the building thus leaving the facade in a constant dynamic that should be experienced from both inside and outside.
Site Analysis
During observation of the site at different times of the day I found the site to be very fluid or dynamic, but still conform to a static nature. I started to look at the way in which the natural and man made forces were affecting the site. I looked at how the natural forces of the sun and clouds caused the facades of the buildings to take on different looks depending on the angle in which you stood. How at night the site takes on a completely different look as the buildings become opposite of what they were during the day. Buildings that may have stood out against the sky during the day almost disappeared against the night sky, while others acted in the opposite manner, becoming more pronounced at night. When looking at the overall view of the site and surrounding area I began to notice how the flow of pedestrian and traffic flows are constantly changing.Withing seconds the cars or people are moving on to a different spot. However it is only the pedestrian flow that is truly able to flow past the site in multiple directions. The traffic flow is limited to certain ways in which they can travel . With this understanding, I feel that my building should be designed in a way to encourage movement around the site and invite people to experience the building from outside and then enter the building and continue the experience from within.
Finally I looked at how surrounding buildings began to exert forces towards the site.
With these thoughts in mind I created a Design Matrix.
