Site Conditions

Site
Slocum Hall Boundaries:

Entry
Site conditions show that the East Entry (which I am studying) is a neglected entry. People would much rather deviate and use the side entrances due to ease of use. On average, people tend to leave the building through it's main entrance opposed to entering through it.

Topography
























Using a method I developed during an earlier stage of the project, during the study of the Lemon, I diagramed the site in terms of circulatory density. Two diagrams, one of the Midday circulation density and one at night begin to give outsiders a view into exactly how the site reacts on a daily basis to the fluxuation of people. The red being the highest point of density and the violet being the lowest. It is a common theme that there is the largest accumulation of poeple around the busstop and the least, regardless of time of day, in front of Slocum Hall.
