We were expected to choose at least 3 cases with respect to the concepts that we’ve developed in mapping the context assignment. We were expected to analyze each case considering the program distribution, program elements, their size and percentage, their spatial relations and so on. Then, we were asked to produce at least two architectural program proposals by hybridizing the cases that we have analyzed and associate the programs with the concepts that we’ve developed.
We analyzed as many cases as we can to understand especially Ford Building. We mainly focused on 3 contexts as sea, industry and life in the site and find/analyze the cases in accordance with these contexts.
Here you can find our program proposal for two scenarios that we’ve developed. In the first scenario, we assume that Ford plant expands through the site and the second scenario is foresight to the next 20 years of Ford Plant’s contraction due to technological development.
