Q1 Fall 2009: Studio 683 – Portland Sustainability Center
Professor Don Genasci and Professor Hajo Neis
Below are some initial site plans, and are focused on a few areas more than others. The first of course is where the OSC is to be built. This analysis will become more apparant and explained in the building design portion. The other two areas are the ends of Montgomery Street, where it crosses the 405 freeway and the other end where it descends to the river, crossing a few busy streets. Focusing on these ends is intended to provide a stronger connection to the rest of the city while providing visual markers that something is occuring along the corridor.
