I am trying to decide where these spaces are going to be and how they will function. I wanted to incorporate the edges from the entrepreneur business edges within the design. I was thinking of pulling the edges of these building into the site to create the intermediate spaces with the water catchment element. Essentially this would construct a skewed plan of the surrounding context. I would like to incorporate something which could be based off these businesses because of how the community is unwilling to loose these business. they are in love with this area, the business, and the people who operate them. It seems to be a big deal for the community. It would almost be creating a tracing of the area. Just a thought,
Incorporating intermediate spaces within the over spaces

I’m struggling with how to deal with the space between the buildings and expressway too. One thing I need to focus on is how the new (pretend) buildings will change the place and what needs the new residents and workers will have. Adding buildings with two more floors – including residences – could definitely change the area. It could drastically increase the foot traffic. Office workers would want places to have lunch, and everyone would like coffee…maybe Perks would move down to the new buildings to expand and upgrade the space. I imagine more restaurants could come in, too, and so patio space around the buildings. Hmm…people may have dogs. I can’t believe no one has incorporated any kind of dog walk area. Maybe that’s what I’ll do with some of the “now what?” left over areas.
