Harvard Site

So I am going to go with the "sliding" site between the library and the Emerson building this site interests me because I feel like the library and the Emerson building can be seen as sliding between the end points where the Carpenter Center and the Weld building.  This is shown in the diagram below.



This diagram shows another interesting part of the site, the end conditions on the short sides.  One side is flat (the Weld side) while the Carpenter Center side is jagged and "rude" or unlike the normal Harvard lines like Corbusier wanted.

This diagram shows the massing of the buildings around the site on campus.

  1. hmmm... sounds/looks interesting... curious what it means in terms of defining a site... (although the condition of instability seems promising)
