site system

LES grids pedestrian flow LES grids connection types

There are two types of connecting the “midpoints” which they will signify the location of specific features in site.

Interlocal is for connecting the site of public housing with the rest of the urban tissue. Local is for serving people on site for their own necessities and desires.

By connecting the points among the buildings a new way of diving the surface can mean the “extension” of each one of the towers.

The specific plan of each individual tower shows architects’ intentions to have the optimum light and ventilation for each apartment. So as this plan is significant to Baruch houses history, the “extended” area can reveal its own grid as a pattern for further actions.

Although there is no point beyond memories to reveal the exact old grid of the city, the idea of scaling down the site is really interesting and it could adapt as a logic to the new connections that already exist. By overlapping the “extended” areas of each tower the new grid can emerge as a buffer zone of programming among the buildings.
