Title
Boston City Hall Plaza
Project Description
Interiority is most often defined as the “quality of being interior”. However, this is not the only definition. It can also be defined as a layering of space, disordered views, endlessness, compression and so on. Simply put, it is a space lacking a clear definition of boundary. This project involves redesigning Boston City Hall’s plaza by studying it’s already highly interiorized building. We started by categorizing the strengths of the building: scaling tricks, dueling voids, centripetality and diffused boundaries. Then implementing these designs into a rendering to create an intertwined maze of spaces from regularized units. Our goal was to activate the rejected plaza space by creating a space of interiority that seamlessly transitions into the existing building.
