BRR Architecture Design Charette - Interlink
THE CHARETTE OBJECTIVE WAS TO MAKE OUTDOOR RETAIL POP UP SHOPS UTILIZING A POD SPACE MAXIMUM SIZE OF 10’W X 20’ L X 12’ H. INSPIRED BY TRAINS AND THE INTERLINKING OF TRAIN CARS I BEGAN MY DESIGN BY CONSIDERING THE RELATIONSHIP OF TWO PODS IN THE CONTEXT OF EACH OTHER. USING THE TEMPLATE OF ONE SMALL PLUS ONE LARGE POD TOGETHER THE PODS CAN ACT AS PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SPACES FOR THE SAME NEED. NEXT I EXPLORED THE IDEA OF THE PODS AS A SYSTEM AND THE CIRCULATION PATHS THAT WOULD ALL THE PODS TO FEEL LIKE A COHESIVE ENVIRONMENT.AS PROOF OF CONCEPT I SELECTED EAKINS OVAL IN FRONT OF THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART TO PLACE THE POP UP PODS. THE PARKING LOT SURROUNDED BY A PARK PROVIDED VIEWS OF THE CITY FROM EVERY SIDE MAKING IT AN IDEAL LOCATION.
