Design exercise for a hybrid sports and arts center in London, England using the compositional analysis of courtyard and compact typologies.
Taking inspiration from OMA’s BLOX project in Copenhagen, Denmark, this studio aims to resolve a high degree of interconnection between hybrid programs within an urban setting. The chosen site for this studio is a car park located in a primarily residential neighborhood in the City of London, England. Upon knowing the location of the site, the first response of this studio was to perform an analysis of the neighborhood’s surrounding context, history, vernacular, and climate.
