Building Typology - Educational Facility

Building Typology

1. Which building typology are you researching?

The building typology I am researching are Educational Facilities, the building will be an Architectural Research Center for Experimental Architecture.

2. Why are you researching this building typology?

Based on the Analysis collected from our assigned site in Red Hook: I believe that the lack of Architectural and technological innovation and the sense of abandonment in the area is in need of an Educational Research Building will be  a sustainable Structure that will inform and provide the people in the area with the right enthusiasm and Ideas that they will need to change the neighborhood into a better place. also this will bring people from all over the city like students architects, college professors, and  even tourist and encourage them to become part of activities which will raise their awareness of carbon footprint to help reduce their consumption and promote sustainable solutions to their economic and environmental problems.

3. What is the specialty of the building type you would like to research ?

The specialty of my building will be to question Architecture and Experiment with different design options to give new life to this idea of creating architecture that is unique or site specific in our case. also to provide solutions to design issues in the area making it more people friendly and inviting.

5. What are your goals for working with this building type?

My goals for working with the Educational Facility is to give students as well as the residents of Red Hook and NYC the opportunity to learn about their neighborhood and its problems, also to provide a space where people can come together hold events in which people all over New York can participate in enriching this historical part of Brooklyn and to spring life to this movement of designers who could then grow around the city of New York and change the ugly unattractive parts of this wonderful city we live in and most importantly to teach the residents that we are all in this together and this is our city and if we don't cherish and care about it no one else will.
