BUILDING - GRAIN TERMINAL

The Building that the students have been assigned to TRANSFORM is the "Brooklyn Grain Terminal.

It too was chosen for its relevance to the themes of the project.

IDEAS OF OUTCAST: The existing building was rendered obsolete (once again, thank you robert moses) by increased emphasis on rail, leaving a facility that was sited using a logic of transportation access, out in the cold.


SCALE: The building is HUGE. I'm talking HUGE!!! The students have researched/analyzed existing museums and have determined all the museums taken together can fit within this building.

CONTRADICTION: Its been noticed by the students, the interesting contradiction between a building of such scale, the purpose of which was to store grain.

....and so on and so on.
