Building Typology


1.  Which building typology you are researching?  The Building Typology I’m researching is a Concert Hall

2.  Why are you researching this building typology?  The reason I’m researching this typology is because on my site I would like to create a place where I can bring people together and create a connection with the people of downtown Manhattan.

3.  What is the specialty of this building type you would like to research i.e. museum for dance, school for digital media…  The specialty of this building would be a concert hall for artist performers. 

4.  What are the examples that you will be researching… list the examples, location and architect (10 examples)

 5.  What are you goals for working with this building type? The goals for working with this building type is create an atmosphere where people can come to and enjoy performances from musicians or up and coming musicians.

6.  What are the program elements that you see included at this point in your building? (may evolve once more research is done).  At this point the program element I see are an Atrium, Lobby, restrooms, restaurants, bar, back staging, an outdoor public seating, booths, and connection to the York Station subway line.

  1. hi alex. i connect with your building typology choice (i researched this for my thesis and have designed and managed the construction of a few since). could you distinguish what type of artist performers you are catering for? and if there's any performance space in your program?

    1. What I'm really leaning towards is Urban/Electric Dance/Pop Performers which I also plan on having an open space for dancing and letting the community around my site have a connection with these artists

  2. hi alex. a wonderful idea full of promise and contextual urbanity if managed appropriately. are you thinking for e.g.....a pop-up performance space with lock-up storage for back-of-house functions? maybe centralised to service multiple such performances spaces ?

    1. What do you mean by e.g? and yea by examining the bubble diagram I basically did that with my spaces. You have all the storage, mechanical, electrical areas away from the public

  3. e.g = (for) example.
    i have examined your bubble diagram (do you have a 'green room'?) which is well done and context-less (of course).
    what happens when you relate your bubble diagram to your site?
    i was wondering if you were thinking of allowing your performance spaces/stages to be 'outside' ?
