Day 07: Urban Intentions, Part 2

The review of projects continued to be related to the urban intentions, with the argument that at the broadest scale the project was an urban project even if there would eventually be some development of structural and material aspects. One question that he asked of a number of students was to consider the different segments of the site as responding to different necessities. While the connection over top of the Alaskan Way would link the ferry passengers to the site and the city, this did not necessitate bridging all the way to 1st Avenue. In a number of cases as well, students were being asked to respond with greater specificity to the context. At the same time, some of the projects began to work with a more specific idea of their form relative to this urban condition.
