1. Which building typology you are researching?
I will be researching various commuter terminals i.e. Airports, Bus terminals, Ferry terminals, Train stations, etc.

I wanted to challenge myself by doing something I haven't yet done. I also wanted to do something that is uncommon and unique in the Red Hook waterfront. A project that could be seen as a gateway to Red Hook.

This will be a common gathering space for commuters and will include mix-use facilities that will serve the community. Some of these Mixed-use facilities include but are not limited to, public library, police station, park, shopping center among others.

A large main gathering space, common commuter circulation, Retail and shopping and access to third party transportation, i.e. private cars and taxis.
