Parti & Massings
For our 3rd assignment, we had to analyze the plans and sections of our building typology examples and create a massing diagram and a diagram of what we thought/saw was the Parti.
For the parti diagrams, I used 2 basic colors, Red and Black, in order to distinguish the "center piece" of the parti and its basic forms. The color black shows the basic forms of the parti and the color red shows the "center piece" form(s) of the parti.

The massing diagrams were created using the sections of the typology examples and extracting the most basic shapes that make shape the overall massing.

5. What are your goals for working with this building type?
My goals for working with the Community Center are to give the youth and residents of Red Hook, as well as the rest of Brooklyn, a place to go after school and on the weekends to play and learn more about the importance of health, helping the environment, and making Red Hook a better community. Besides working with the community and its residents, the various trades that inhabit Red Hook will also play a big part in educating the youth and helping out with community activities.
