Baruch complex with entrances to each building
a sketch for scaling down the towers or “breaking” the initial volume into smaller spaces which could distribute among them.
diagram of possible paths that people follow. The flow of movement can lead to networks among the buildings which can provide opportunity for reutilized areas.
Sometimes walking through the projects might be confusing since some people want their community to be gated for security reasons, preventing the others to trespass. Since there is not a clear separation of the public and private area some people might feel uncomfortable having others to walk through their “territory”. If every housing complex was gated, then large areas would have worked as barriers to the others.
So, based at these flows, new forms could emerge.
looking at the topography in the past: where the shore line was and where were the streams.
Public Baths or public swimming pools used to be vital for the city in the past in terms of hygiene. At Baruch houses in specific there was one working until 1970.
So the location of the streams in relation to the idea of public pools can provide new utilities for recreation or a new environmental zone.
concerning the development rights: the height of the buildings could actually increase giving more surface to people.
structures based on (maybe) the old grid? incorporating a smaller scale and locality?
the facade which reveals the patterns of the whole project
