Material / Social Relationship. These are runners on the sidewalk which is next to the busy street. The street lamps are a similar scale to the people.
Material / Social Relationship. There is a cast-iron bridge that passes through the site which allows for foot and bike traffic.
In Boston it is illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalk so this person is riding in the street. The cars most very quickly and many people have few concerns for the bikers. To accomodate this situation, bikers must also ride very quickly to keep pace with the vehicles.
Spatial / Social Relationship. Facing the site is a very tall apartment building. At the base of the apartment building the relationship between viewer and site is very different than the relationship that exists between viewer and site at the top of the apartment building.
Spatial / Social Relationship. The other building that faces the site is much shorter than the apartment building and only slightly taller than the Homeland security building. This creates a relatively linear relationship between the viewers of both buildings and the site.
My feedback for this week suggested looking at stronger strictly spatial relationship of the surrounding context. The latter Spatial / Social Relationship diagrams were the strongest of the presentation and one suggestion included focusing more on the depth of these diagrams.
My other course of action includes thinking more about the program. My program includes a public space, and light retail and dining function, and a bus stop for the silver line. One of my goals includes diving deeper into the relationship between these programmatic functions.
