program + site pt. 1

Program should: act as a catalyst for social interaction.

Overlap, juxtapose, interconnect and engage its users, both visually and socially. Juxtaposed program adjacencies are used as a means to relate often disparate functions together to enrich the user experience.

As a means to evaluate, a qualitative (visual) and quantitative (data driven) methodology is to be devised and implemented as a driving force in not only determining speculative inquires, but also assessing the programmatic needs of the site.

Museum:

A depository for collecting and displaying objects having scientific, historical or artistic value.

What does it mean to collect or display?

Who decides what’s culturally significant?

These images (above and below) are looking at spatial conditions, and how one type of program could  influence the other.  Issues of adjacency are speculative at the moment as program is contingent with site.  But a strong sectional relationship is to be focused on.
