Mediatheque Design Project

One of the things that interested me most about the site is the old industrial district in San Francisco. And it reminds me of one of the buildings we learned about in the history class, the Fiat Lingotto Factory in Turin, Italy. This factory is designed to make cars, and each level of the building means one of the processes of making a car.

So, my overall concept for the project is the process of making the film. There is an education program called bay cat will be located on the first floor of the production section, which is the start of the process. Then the second floor will be used for music generation. So, the common music room and the auditorium will be the main space on the second floor. The third floor will be the screening room and archive for students to reach and combine the video and audio. And the exhibition space will be placed on the fourth floor for students to share and improve the film. And the last process will happen on the rooftop screen for final publishing.

the ramps located around the building. I organized it like this because this can be easier for people or students to communicate with others, and it can be the emergency fire ramp for people to move all too. Also, there will be two elevators and a fire stair located in the building.

At last, I separated the whole building into two parts. The left part is used as the space for share, and the right will be the production part. And the middle nave will be used as the lobby and the showing space for student work.
