PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
KNOWLEDGE is the most vital component to survival and the collective advancement of humans. This design proposes to continually encourage the interactive gaining of knowledge through a private program of workspaces and research facilities and also encourage the interactive sharing of knowledge through means of public program including an accessible library, museum, and workstations.
THE DESIGN of the building is separated into three components representing the PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE methods of gaining and sharing knowledge. The design of the landscape reflects the patterns created from the skyscraper by mimicking the building characteristics to form an inviting public space both to compliment the neighboring United Nations building as well as a space for active interactivity.
The following is a 3'x8' presentation board prepared for an interdisciplinary studio of both Architecture and Landscape Architecture students and professors.
