A WOODEN BOAT BUILDING SCHOOL
The wooden Boat Building School would be located on a small town next to Brooklin maine. It is Situated next to a peninsula and is just outside Blue Hill Bay.
The town has a low population but is verry integratted with nature. the area is well know for its creation of boats where many people around the world visit and take courses on the town on how to built their very own boat.
Context
In order to fullfil the idea of the Wooden Boat Building School, the outdoors and the indoors had to play as one. Also the idea of circulation between the students and visitors had to blend well with the people building the boats thus causeing for big areas of circulation to be consider. one of the aspects the buildng included was the idea of playing with topography which allowed for all three sections of the building to flow as one.

The structure that the building takes tries to emphasize the direction one should take while creating a space for easy air circulation and ample amount of natural light to enter the building. It also tries to create multiple access points for guest and boats to enter and leave the building.

The Mission Hill + Community Center is a place that would allow for afternoon classes as well as Activities to accur thorught the year. The Building is situated on a 10 ft topographic site from one side to the other. The Idea behind the design was to incorporate the topography and blend it in with the circulation of the buildng.
MISSION HILL + COMMUNITY CENTER Context
To incorporate the Topography to the building, the building had to incorporate terracing and shitted level on the botton floor as well as the roof. instead of using ramps as a way to move from room to room, the inplementatin of stairs created for a more define level shirts where each floor had their own characteristics.

The Main Circulation of the building starts on the upper right corner where one is presented with different floor levels as one enters the building. As one circulates the building one starts to feel the difference characteristics that every level has.
Students/ Residents Stairs/elevatior
The structure of the building was meant to allow for big open spaces without disruptions of walls.
SEGMENTED DIAGRAM
the idea different levels allowed for diffrent rooms to be experienced differently than the rest. the lower floor was meant to be for excebition, the middle floor level was meant for the community, while the upper level was meant for the administrators. the was made accesible to all guests and was meant to create a relaxing area just as the interior garden.
DEEPER ANALYSIS
The Antiquarian Book and Map Shop is situated in between two party walls. The design was meant to preserve and showcase rare books as well as to create a space for customers to sit and relax while reading books.
ANTIQUARIAN BOOK AND MAP SHOP Context
The design content on the front facade was deisgned in a way for natural light to enter the main circulation spaces. Having big appetures alowed for the bookstore users to have a clear view at what they were meant to see. Up above where skylights which allowed for natrual light to enter eluminate the main space of the building.
Further into the design there is a central room which connects all three floors and allows for people to view some rare books that where avalable onthe book store.
