SCATTER BLOCK

The concept for the Scatter Block was inspired by the design of the Nasher Center, which comprises five bays with six thick walls each. The Nasher Center was primarily designed to have a central program confined to a specific area in each bay and to incorporate various sources of natural light. For my building, I have reimagined this concept by enabling various programs to interact in each bay without any specific section restriction. Additionally, courtyard spaces have been incorporated on different levels to illuminate the area with natural light. The primary focus of my building’s design was the distribution of programs in each bay and how they would interact on the same level and throughout the entire building. Located By the menil, The six walls define the building, with minimal horizontal circulation. On the first floor, the basketball field is the central focus, and programs and courtyard spaces are mixed on both the first and second floors. On the third floor, a variety of programs and courtyard spaces with small scattered hallways allow moments of transition from one side to another on the level.
