INITIAL CONCEPT Forum Concept and Explanation
CUTHBERT ST
18th ST
Original proposals were diagramed showing different ways of opening the forum to the public with a general placement of it and how it could connect with the underground tunnel to the nearby station. Once the an idea for the forum and how it worked with the connection between towers, a concept was launched mirror the Comcast Centers reflective facade so the two towers would provide an infinite of different views of each other when looking into their facing facades. When the decision for the forum was made to have an elevated outdoor space and several interior cubes containing different activities sections were drawn up by myself and another intern to show the development of it at a real scale. Eventually the cubes were removed and the forum became lined with shelves and a focal point for digital information was added. The LED mast at the beginning of the forum facade denotes the front of the building and is in line with the neighboring church’s cupola. When fully lit it is intended to display images that could be anything from a televised game or become an informative mast explaining the event happening within.
