Multi-use building program arrangement

Traditional multi-use arrangement harkens backto Louis Sullivan and his Guaranty building where one programmatic element sat on top of the previous one. The issue with this is there is limitedaccess from one program to another, also only oneprogram can access street level or roof top space.The building form is generally limited with thisarrangement as well.

Multi-use building program arrangement

Block multi-use arrangement groups programing together depending on its needs regarding the building.This provides better access between programing and allows more access to street and roof for all programingas needed. Program can shape the building to fit its needs generating a more interesting form.

Multi-use building program arrangement

Blended mixed-use arrangement patches blocks of programing together which provides unlimited access to other programing and free access to street and roof when located as needed. To some extent the program can be changed within each block to suit needs. Building form completely reactive to programresulting in a very interesting form. The building alsospreads out on site reducing height problems.
