The diagram above depicts the framework from which the basis of my project is formed. The first step is stating my problem. Although this is portrayed as a short statement in the diagram, the problem is in fact a complex issue that incorporates a variety of factors. Therefore, I must establish the scope of my problem. The three "realms of existence" that are described each contain many variables that need to be addressed. It is through the Space Solution step that establishes the project in which the Scope of Problems can be addressed. This step involves three potential outcomes- the urban design solution, the architectural solution, and the landscape architecture solution. I envision my end result to incorporate all three in some way or another. My topic will definitely require a great analysis and in-depth study of the greater urban context. Architecturally, I plan to develop an actual building type that will incorporate landscape design and address the urban context.
It was through this process that my space solution was established.
I will be redeveloping an existing transit center in San Diego to create a "Transfer Center". This center will focus on promoting human interaction and and environmental experience by breaking free from the isolation vehicles produce. This center will be a space of exchange- from the car, to more sustainable methods of mobility; bus, trolley, ride-share, bicycle...etc. This center will facilitate walkability by incorporating active public space and establishing connections between destinations.
