Thesis: Finals: Site Plan

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: Site: Model: Process

 

Process of working on my conceptual sewn topography model.  The thicker red line indicates the Freedom Trail, the other colored threads represent the subway lines, and the black stitches represent the many intertwining streets of Boston.  The model is about 3 feet long by 1.5 feet wide.

Possible locations for intervention. These sites appear to be neglected by first intuition. Further analysis will be needed to determine if these sites are truly neglected.
