Algenosphere: Case Study 01
Runner Relief Station
Aarav Shroff
Case Study: Point
This case study is one that is representative of developing the material assembly around a single point along the FDR route. Rather than entering a space or moving along a plane, the public stays centered around this point as a recharge station. The programmatic drive for this development was to have runner relief stations scattered along the running route commonly used by the public despite its lack of shade and proximity to the highway, hence the poor air quality.

Plans and Site Analysis
Section
The programmatic drive for this development was to have runner relief stations scattered along the running route commonly used by the public despite its lack of shade and proximity to the highway, hence the poor air quality.
The form dips closer to the heads of the public for a more intimate breathing experience.
CFD Diagram
The CFD simulation was preformed throughout the form designing process, in an effort to continously evolve the form into one that aptly restricted airflow from passing through the oxygenated areas and reduce its impact but rather around it, slowing movement to be static within the rest area.
