Massing Studies: A Generative Thinking Process Building Diagram: Functional Division Map

After testing with 8 different iterations, the best option is to shift the building to the waterfront and a transition tower is left behid the original place, the tower will be working as a social hub to connect 3 main buildings of this site. In this case, the apartment itself is not blocking the view of Weiss Research Building and Rockefeller Research Building. The living residents inside the building will also get a better view of the water front. To achieve the wellness of the residents, a differnt facade strategy is applied onto the building, a blocking material was used on the side facing FDR and a more transparent facade is used facing East River.
