working section and program summary
The motion mapping is generating form and spatial relationships in section. As process, the sections are started first and then a floor plan will be derived from a series of such sections.
The area of the plan will be constrained to one or one and a half rows of the structural bays of the box. Each structural bay is approximately 1,000sf. With the two end bays being slightly larger.
Below is an updated program. Limiting the program size allows the dojo to become a small insertion into the big box grid and serves as the catalyst for re-use. By inserting the small singular catalyst to the strip mall and box store a ripple effect would be created, generating other new uses and recycling of the existing buildings.
As an example of other re-uses that could be possible, the program includes a series of community outreach wellness kiosks that will be orperated by a local health care provider. The kiosks are un-manned information centers that get valuable medical and health information to the community. These will have direct ties to the garden ruin and meditation areas of the dojo, delineating the ripple effect of the catalyst.
