Thesis: Diagrams: Models

Analysis on the study models I created using Photoshop filters.  The goal of this diagraming idea was to find edge conditions that I can use to derive form off of.  These edge conditions indicate where passage, form, and juxtaposition can occur.

Thesis: Model: Process: Streets

Progress of my 1"=100' site model of Boston's Freedom Trail.

I scored the sidewalks, and cut the streets out on the laser cutter.  Each of the 8 pieces took about 16 minutes to cut on the laser cutter.

Some pieces of the model. Each piece is 24x33.
More pieces before assembly.
Pinned up version of site and site analysis.  These photos were taken on my phone.  I will take better photos to show the detail of the model later.  I marked the sites on the Freedom Trail, T-Stations, and the specific sites on the Freedom Trail that I want to renovate.

Thesis: User Groups: More Diagrams

 
This diagram indicates how I want to lift the Freedom Trail up to create seating spaces, and shelter, as well as "bend/ fold" the trail into the ground to excavate usable program space.

Thesis: Site: History

 
Above is a diagram showing the time-line of what occured on the Freedom Trail in relation to the physical Freedom Trail path.

Thesis: Site: Analysis: Figure Ground

Below are some diagrams of the Freedom Trail for Urban Cliche' to Civic Engagement: Accessibility and Diversity on the Freedom Trail.

Above is a diagram reflecting the waterfront edge properties in downtown Boston.

Above is a diagram reflecting the buildings directly adjacent to the Freedom Trail.

Above is a diagram reflecting the buildings not immediately adjacent to the Freedom Trail (typically one street away from the Trail).

Above is a diagram reflecting both the directly adjacent buildings and the secondary adjacent ones (blue represents the secondary adjacent buildings).

Above is a diagram reflecting both the directly adjacent buildings and the secondary adjacent ones.  This diagram shows the same information as the previous one, yet this one shows the two conditions as a mass of buildings.

Above is a diagram I am currently working on showing buildings adjacent to green spaces within the urban environment.

Thesis: Site: Analysis: Survey: Results Diagram

Below is a visual diagram of results from my initial survey.  These are only a few of the many quotes people left for my use.  Thank you all for your input!  I will be using this diagram of results to begin documenting the results in a more visually stimulating manner than a spread sheet.
