description |
The site is located across the P. St. Bridge,
before one enters DuPont Circle. This is an ideal
site for investigating the space of the inbetween.
The site is situated between the small scale
fabric of Georgetown and the moumental scale of
D.C. This site is also situated between nature
(Rock Creek Park) and the urban realm. This place
must function as a significant portal into and out
of the city. This concept of space precedes
program, through an intense investigation of the
site. Creating relationships and responding to
the site, a sense of place is developed by becoming
a player in its local context. Through this
process, two architectonic elements arise; the
wall and the tower. The wall functions like a
vessel holding in the city, as well as, a fortress
protecting the city. The tower acts as a beacon
of light or node appearing above the canopy. The
program is then introduced and informed by these
spatial concepts. An intense intertwining and
rediscovery of space, structure, and program occurs
through this process. === Master of Architecture |
