Controlling Time

I discovered that Lucky Charms now includes marshmallows with time control. Sorry bro, I picked them all out of the box.

Site Flyover

These are just a couple quick (but took way too long to render) videos to see the whole site before I begin the final design of it.

Sun Analysis

In these two videos I am looking at the way the building will shade the park area. This will affect how i develop the use of the park and how it interacts with the building.

Our project is set inside an old warehouse in Dumbo, NY. This warehouse uses Timber construction which I plan on reusing in my project. Using a very poor photo from when I visited the site I did a study last night of the existing interior construction. This lead to a break down of how much timber is possibly available.

A total of 4 different types of timber are used in building. A post, 2 beams, and the final decking.

One Module dividing the whole bay using the column grid.

This model is a mess, but you can see how the floors operate.

Timber Piece	Size	Quantity (bay 3 only)	Total Linear Ft	Use (4 Stories Tall)
Post	1’x1’x11’	298	2,980 ft	4 Floors
Primary Beam	1’x1.5’x11.5’	298	3,427 ft	3 Floors + Roof
Secondary Beam	4”x12”x18.75’	3975	74,531 ft	3 Floors + Roof
Deck	4”x14”x11.5’	5088	58,512 ft	3 Floors

*The ground floor uses the ground instead of timber and the roof uses thinner decking.

Its been along time.

It has been a couple months since I posted anything, but I am going to start back up again as a way to record the last couple of weeks of my studio project. With the stress and lack of sleep I am going to see if the blog can manage to remember and represent the output. I will fill in the major details on the project as I have time but I will post a completed process book at the end also. So here it begins…..
