Strip Studies

Some images of the site and its program or zoning strips. They are rough sketches of potential layers in plan and elevation.





This diagram illustrates how program requires, or "attracts" and also "repels" other adjacent programs. Which programs can sustain others and how can two seemingly different functions, ex. airport and hospital, work together. It would be great for on-call traveling doctors, so more airports = more density
