Site plan development

I have pretty much clear what is what I want for my site development.

• My access plaza:
  I want to make a clean entrance (not sure about trees and / or landscape)
  I want to be a invitation to both streets and particularly to the “corner”
  It will reflect some of my original concepts thru texture and material (simple ??!!)
  It is to be very energetic and supported by many visual elements (my “spectaculars”)
• Boylston Street:
  I want to respect the set back of the west building as well as some of the elements of it (very symbolic)
  I want to give my interpretation of the “living” in Boston with my new interpretation of the “bay window” (we’ll see if possible) and I might elevate the dorm building to give a “water table – basement” feel to it)
  I want to be very energetic and have a great deal of interaction with the business side of the street with my “spectaculars” (I am struggling with the landscape and trees)
  I want to incorporate some elements of traditional Boston in my details (maybe windows, etc) in a contemporary interpretation (yet to happen)
• Inside court:
  I want it t be a dynamic element of the place (like adding an all year round “river rock” ) and will serve for my sustainable strategies
  I wan to make it an “extension” of the west building” but add plenty of ever green trees on that side to give a sense of privacy. (in communion with the louvers at the exit stair)
• On the track side I just want to provide a “soldier” line of trees to buffer the sound, limit some visuals and to give the train a entry side wall to the tunnel.

Considerations to my project

Next steps in my project
These are the next steps in my project in order to accomplish my intentions and to fulfill the goals and schedule of the studio:

1. Environmental strategies:
   I need to define all the most important ones (by performance and cost) and work out the details, implications, consequences and other factors to asset them and smoothly incorporate them in to the final project
   Light and solar radiation gain / protection
   Wind use / protection
   Material use
   Sustainable elements
   Waterless urinals
   Water capture / dispersion
   Concrete prefabrication (insulating panels)
2. Building sections.
   This is the next step to achieve better project understanding and start specific solutions to scenarios, elements or potential situations not considered yet.
   Give solution to my stairs
   Solution to my elevator
   Incorporate mechanical, electrical and HVAC elements
   Understanding of the structure
   Sustainable strategies solutions
3. Details
   Directly related to the section part of my plan
   On sections
   On elevations
   In the site
   On the floors
   Any other
4. Mechanical systems
   Directly related to the section part of my plan
   On sections
   On elevations
   In the site
   On the floors
   Any other
5. Site plan
   Oversee the project as a whole and make sure is a cohesive element accordingly to the context, landscape and the specific urban site.
