The trees lining the street and Copley Square provide a unique type of filtration. They are able to control the scale of the city, provide a bit of privacy, create unique views and provide the basis for my site analysis. I started by looking at the various elements that make Copley Square what it is. It has always been viewed as an artistic and educational mecca for the city of Boston. Using these two ideas, I have my program of the art gallery and the technology store. The trees on site start the filtration that continues through out every aspect of this space. I want to use the ideas from the trees to create intimate spaces in the middle of the city, generate unique views and highlight specific elements around the site and guide visitors through the spaces much like the branches of a tree. Spaces will open and close until finally at the top, outer edges the entire city is revealed. The interior spaces will be kept neutral to allow for the visitor to focus on the various elements exposed through this filtration process. With the changing seasons and various times of day, the experience will be different, much like a walk through the trees at Copley Square.
