The building acts as a connector from The Commons to Green St., reactivating the adjacent parking lot, link-ing the main pedestrian corridor with the vehicular corridor of Green St. Containing multiple programs, the Womens Community Building houses meeting spaces, the WCB library and headquarters, offi ces, Sew Green, various pultipurpose auditoriums, and exterior gardens available to the general public.

MARCH 1 THIRD SEMESTER STUDIO

The envelope of the building consists of three systems:

1. curved surfaces are insulated metal panel cladding within the grid of the diamond-shaped structure. These panels are patterned to admit different percentages of light. The curve and program of the space below dictate the percentage of glazing within this system.

2. a standard ver tical (mass) concrete wall system.with areas of long slit windows to direct views towards the park and block the views into the adjacent residential buildings for privacy.

3. a low-e glazed storefront system (R-19) at the entrances. This glazing could have a frit pattern on it to incorporate with the patterning system throughout the building that would also lessen the direct gain on the south facade along Richards Street.

All unit programs that require water hookup are directly adjacent to the service wall.

The roof collects water and moves it towards the wall . A natural rain fi ltration and storage system are located within, sized to accomodate a month’s supply of fresh water, enough to cover for the lack of access to the city water system during a fl ooding emergency.

The service wall also houses the plumbing and mechanical equiptment for the house. The form responds programmatically to the services that are being accomodated within.

The terminal remains as a wave frosen mid-crash, ready to meet the ferries. The structural bays of the roof are constructed of large wooden trusses, invoking the shipbuilding vernacular, and offset to allow light in through clerestories.
