Walk Nº 4: The Financial District from Government Center to Post Office Square



Here we tried to capture the open space from the other side of the park. The points of the buildings define the space and form a triangle around the park. Buildings act as walls for the green area.


The main focus here was a greenspace. The buildings are the envelope for the trees that enclose the pedestrian areas. The buildings can be slightly seen through
the tree canopy, which is a darker blanket for the park.


Here I tried to capture the curvature of the round building. This building has commercial spaces on the first level and private spaces, like offices, above. Notice the different heights of the surrounding buildings and massings, as well as the different heights of the circulation areas.



Buildings are routed in a round plan as they define the open space. The curvature of the buildings wrap the streets and produce walking areas for pedestrians.



Here I tried to capture the open space of the cemetery. There is a slope moving up to the buildings that enclose the area like a binding wall. The trees are the roof of the area and the shadows from the vegetation define the space through the changes in light.


This is the park street T stop. Here I tried to capture the open space. There is a slope that leads to the entrances of the train. This open area is defined by the building walls and is made up of wide pedestrian pathways and green areas.
