Design Inspiration
Plug-in city (Movement and infrastructure)
Stadium 974 (The Containers being moveable)
12 Step- Token. (Peer Recognition)
Half oval open shaped infrastructure. Pros. open spaces in the front. Cons. differnt shape to make connections
Pretzel shaped infrastructure. Pros. dynamic look. Cons. loss easy acces to public area and no really way to move from step to step
Self moving turning system. Pros. Moving from up and down to simple. Cons. lost of easy acces to public areas and stop the needs for back tracking
Simple open sqaure infrastructure. Pros. easy to conrtol the movemnt of the shipping containers.
Conceptual Infrastructure Sketches
(Phase 1)
Conceptual Layout Sketches
This was a live exercise I did to determine the layout of the infrastructure on the site. This exercise helped me to see potential viewers and public vs. pritave spaces.
This is a hand digital drawing; This was to explore the areas that would be green areas for everyone to use compared to private areas.

Infrastructure Design
Problems from Phase 1
Togetherness: In phase one, each infrastructure has its public area, and users will only see others at the same step as them.
The only way the shipping containers could get the movement needed was to use a big crane, which would have to swing shipping containers to each infrastructure.
Solutions
A unified infrastructure featuring a shared public outdoor space.
