Day 22: Finalizing master plans

Following Gijs' departure, the focus of the studio for many of the students is the continuing refinement and development of their master plan for the site. The project has been a continual balancing act between the development of the overall urban approach to the site, including the treatment of Marion Street and the response to the waterfront plan, and the refinement of the walkway—particularly its structure and and related spaces and functions. What appeared to be a simple project has ended up being quite challenging for all. With the master plan, the problem has been to deal with the at-grade condition. The situation at the terminal has been particularly difficult, and in many cases has required a revision to the proposed terminal's design.
