DD Review and Comments


Comments:

.What are the qualities of prefab which the building could utilize?

.The program may be too large for the user. Can the building also hold rentable meeting space or space for other users?

.The siting is awkward. Its location makes it seem like a destination or a major player in the Columbus market. Is it intended to be the Google of Columbus? Its location is also a little office park-y.

.The ultimate adaptable building for the use may be an open box with a grid structure that users can just show up and plug in. The ideas of adaptability and change need to be married with the ideas of a very specific user group and use.

.What is the relationship between the adjacent Center of Science and Industry and the building?

.What kind of exhibits would be shown in the public spaces?

.Maybe the thesis idea is too large, and could be better tested in the smaller scale, such as a work unit or the relationship of a few work units together.

.Make very clear the distinction between PREFAB and MODULAR; they are not interchangeable. Something which is highly customized could (would) be prefabricated.
