Current Issues

Key Issues to Resolve:

  1. approach / entry
    • parking
    • entry from buses and cards
  2. landscape
    • diagrammatic site plan
    • car circulation
    • roof as part of ground?
  3. central circulation
    • courtyard space
    • elevators and escalators
    • pedestrian movement
  4. technical changes to plan, etc.
    • cantilever vs. view
    • soft and open flow through museum
    • auditorium location
    • location for 4 fire stairs
    • demonstration gallery
  5. skin system
    • differentiation in walls and roof
    • materiality

General notes from review:

- bridges and rivers relationship in building as well as city, tie to Pittsburgh

- interlocking piece: steel as a tile form

- our scheme: narrow is low, wide is tall- doesn’t work everywhere

- sequence: production, use, history- what is our sequence?
