This was a student project by Jonathan Alexander for Michael Denison's ARCH 342 course, Winter 2006. The project was based underneath the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. Scaffolding, in the form of a loom, was created to map existing circulation passing through, around, and above the immediate context of the site. The project was also influenced by the strong presence and complexities of highway interchanges located around the site. The result is an interweaving of various paths of circulation, connecting studio apartments, a movie theater, nightclub, outdoor performance space, restaurant, and art gallery, which all fall within the interstitial space between the internal ramps and the façade. The façade is a permeable wrapper that allows light to penetrate through the building allowing light into 'dark spaces.' ---- Jonathan Alexander This work is a part of the online collections of the Knowlton School of Architecture Student Archives, The Ohio State University.
