This document provides an extensive site analysis for a proposed new library building for the Boston Architectural College (BAC) to be located at 0 Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts. The analysis includes details on the site location and surroundings, existing conditions, traffic and pedestrian patterns, climate and shadows, zoning and codes, precedents, and goals for the new building. Key factors that will influence the building design include the site's location above an highway, fitting within the surrounding grid pattern, balancing natural light with shadows, and conforming to local business zoning.
The document discusses the relationships between art, music, and architecture programs at a school. It describes how the three areas influence each other and shares an idea for a new building with three wings - one for each program area. The building site plan centers the architecture wing around an existing pond, the art wing around the main entrance for displaying student work, and the music wing around an auditorium stage space.
The document summarizes a student's thesis project to redesign a bridge between Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The current bridge is in need of repairs but lacks funding. The student proposes adding mixed-use spaces like shops, galleries, dining, offices, and housing to the bridge to generate income for repairs and maintenance. The design separates vehicular traffic from other uses like walking, biking, and skateboarding for safety. It includes a central food court gathering space and outdoor areas for community events. The goal is to bring the two communities together while making the bridge self-sufficient.
The document describes an assignment where the author was asked to design a house for an imaginary client named the Murphys. The author created profiles for the Murphys and designed the house through iterative revisions with feedback from their supervisor acting as the client. Key aspects of the design include four separate buildings connected by a courtyard, with designs focused on accessibility and functionality for the client.
The traffic study shows that vehicle traffic is relatively consistent throughout the day with slightly higher volumes in the morning and evening peak periods. Traffic enters relatively equally from all directions during mid-day periods.
The document summarizes a student's process for designing a dormitory for their university. The student had to first choose the best site from four potential locations on campus. They then developed an intention for the design by comparing earning a degree to climbing a hill step-by-step. With the site and intention determined, the student sketched different options for laying out the dormitory on the site until selecting the best plan.

Cats should be subject to leash laws because as natural wanderers they pose risks to local wildlife populations and safety hazards in areas with vehicle traffic.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

As a class, we discussed possible uses for that site based on what the school needed. A new Library was suggested for this site, which was elevated above the Mass. Pike. <br /> In this class, when asked to uses a site I was familiar with, for a Library, I instantly thought back to the idea of a Library for The BAC, and to this site.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 <br />EXISTING<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 SITE LOCATION: STATE AND REGION<br />SITE IN RELATION TO THE STATE:<br />SITE IN RELATION TO THE REGION:<br />8:00 am12:00 pm4:00 pm<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 SITE LOCATION: NEIGHBORHOOD<br />SITE IN RELATION TO LOCAL STREETS:<br />center0<br />SITE IN RELATION TO MASS TRANSORTATION:<br />center0<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 SITE PLAN<br />0 Boylston Street has 373 feet facing Boylston, 140 feet on Massachusetts Avenue, and 400’ abutting the old ICA Green Line entrance. The site has a ten foot setback on both roads, and three feet on the back side.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 SITE PHOTOGRAPHS<br />PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SITE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS:<br />DFECBA<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 PHOTOGRAPH DIAGRAM<br />MAP SHOWING WHERE EACH PICTURE WAS TAKEN FROM:<br />EDFCBA<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 PATHS<br />From The BAC, there are two paths that lead many students to the Hynes Stop on the Green Line. A library on either of these paths would be convenient to the students who use that stop. <br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 EDGES<br />15393923419673<br />The Library would be best located within the edges of Mass. Ave. and the Mass. Pike. Heavy edges like these would separate The BAC from a new Library.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 DISTRICTS<br />15526513400562<br />It is not necessarily important for the library to be in one district and not another. The biggest concern regarding location is distance from The BAC.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 NODES<br />17038922230221<br />The best location for a Library would be a site where Multiply paths of Vehicular and Pedestrian traffic converge with people entering and exiting Public transportation and parking areas.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 LANDMARKS<br />11336732952689<br />A Floating Landmark could benefit a library, by allowing it to be located from a distance, but the more important landmark would be a Grounded Landmark. The most likely point of departure for the Library would be from the BAC, which would be close by, so a Grounded Landmark would have a greater effect.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 TOPOGRAPHY<br />The site is drawn here with two foot contour lines. The highway is shown running below the site.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 SITE FEATURES<br />The site is entirely vegetation free, except for the occasional weed that may pop up in the side walk cracks. The site is surrounded by manmade structure on all sides, except a portion of the rear, which overlooks a small garden of trees.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 WEATHER CONDITIONS <br />DAYS w/ PRECIPDAYS w/ T-STORMSDAYS w/ FOGAVG.RAIN FALL(inches)AVG.

Below are the total numbers of cars to enter the intersection during each cycle of the traffic light. Each light was green for approximately 60 seconds. <br />Day/ TimeMonday 2-22-2010Tuesday 2-23-2010Wednesday 2-24-20109:00am20 - 30 Most from the south Fewest from the east25 - 35 Most from the south Fewest from the east20 - 30 Most from the south Fewest from the east11:00am15 – 25Relatively equal from all directions10 – 25Relatively equal from all directions20 – 30Relatively equal from all directions1:00pm20 – 30Relatively equal from all directions20 – 35Relatively equal from all directions20 – 30Relatively equal from all directions3:00pm20 – 30Relatively equal from all directions20 – 30Relatively equal from all directions20 – 30Relatively equal from all directions5:00pm25-40Most from northFewest from east25-45Most from northFewest from east25-40Most from northFewest from east7:00pm20-30Most from northFewest from east15-25Most from northFewest from east25-30Most from northFewest from east9:00pm15 – 25Relatively equal from all directions15 – 25Relatively equal from all directions15 – 30Relatively equal from all directions<br />Based on several days of studying vehicular traffic at the intersection of Boylston and Massachusetts, I can conclude that traffic remain consist throughout the day. The busiest times fall around 9:00am and 5:00pm. The pedestrians greatly reduced the rate of traffic during peak hours.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 WALKING PATTERNS<br />The thin blue lines represent common paths. It is clear which paths are traveled most frequently.<br />8571580<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 PEDESTRIAN STUDY<br />Below is the a count of people per minute whom walked past the site along either Boylston Street or Massachusetts Avenue.<br />Street/ timeBoylstonMass Ave9:00am-10:00am6710:00am-11:00am8911:00am-12:00pm7812:00pm-1:00pm14161:00pm-2:00pm11102:00pm-3:00pm993:00pm-4:00pm10104:00pm-5:00pm12145:00pm-6:00pm15176:00pm-7:00pm14157:00pm-8:00pm678:00pm-9:00pm559:00pm-10:00pm44<br />In conclusion, there are slightly more people walking Massachusetts Ave. most of the day. The peak pedestrian hours seem to be noon and around 5:00. The largest group of users appeared to be Berklee Students going from one class to the next, but at peak hours, office workers populated the streets. The Prudential center was a popular destination around lunch time. In the evening most traffic came to or from the Green Line station.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 WALKING RADIUS<br />The diagram below shows the distance a person could walk to in five and ten minutes. Blue covers a quarter mile, while red covers one half of a mile.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION<br />6382510<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 SURROUNDING USES<br />7333480<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 FORMER SITE USE<br />The site is currently occupied by the Mass. Pike, but the buildable part of the site above the highway is not, and was not used. <br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 NOLLI MAP<br />It is very clear in this diagram that building on this site could complete the grid.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 SITE DETERMINANTS<br />Master Plan<br />0 Boylston is currently owed by the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, but there have been talks with developers to sell the air rights over the Highway. The MTA hopes development of this site, and 3 others above the Mass. Pike, will build a better sense of connection among the surrounding neighborhoods.<br />Historic<br />When the back Bay was first created, the corner where this site is was intended to be a part of the rectangular city block pattern. With the Mass. Pike occupying the land, this part of the block was lost.<br />Archeological<br />As the site is elevated above ground, there would be no purpose for an archeological study.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 SITE HISTORY<br />Historically, the site was a part of the Back Bay grid. When the Mass Pike was built, it cut into the city block. Currently, the site sits vacant and inaccessible above the Mass Pike.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 REAL ESTATE VALUE<br />The lot at 0 Boylston Street is appraised at $3,508,500.00. This assessment is the land value only, as there is not a building on the site.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 EXISTING CONCLUSION<br />The five reasons for site selection that are most significant in directing the program are:<br />Shadow patterns will be very important in the program, as a library will require a comfortable balance of natural light.<br />The break that the highway cuts in the grid will play a big role. The library will be conforming to the Back Bay's grid. <br />The site has no existing vegetation or natural features, so the program will not have to work around trees or ledge.<br />This is going to be a flat site, reducing stairs and ramps, which take up floor space.<br />The lack of structure on the site allows for a new structure, as opposed to the unexpected hassles and costs that come with reconstruction.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 <br />CODES<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 ZONING SUMMARY<br />The lot at 0 Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts is zoned for business, which would make a College Library “conditional.” The BAC is not a state University, and therefore falls under the label of “Business.”<br />There is a height restriction of either 8 floors of 120’, but the 120’ limit comes with this footnote:<br />quot;
^a. Planned Development Areas.* The whole or any part of a subdistrict may be established as a planned development area if such area contains not less than one acre and the commission has received from the Boston Redevelopment Authority, and has approved, a development plan or, if the area contains not less than five acres and is not located in a residential zoning district, a master plan for the development of the planned development area. Before transmittal to the commission, such development plan or master plan shall have been approved by said Authority after a public hearing,<br />provided, however, that no development plan or master plan shall be approved by said Authority unless said Authority finds that such plan conforms to the general plan for the city as a whole and that nothing in such plan will be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. A development plan shall set forth the proposed location and appearance of<br />structures, open spaces and landscaping, proposed uses of the area, densities, proposed traffic circulation, parking and loading facilities, access to public transportation, proposed dimensions of structures, and may include proposed building elevations, schematic layout drawings and exterior building materials, and such other matters as said Authority deems appropriate to its consideration of the proposed development of the area.quot;
<br />8:00 am12:00 pm4:00 pmThere is a ten foot setback in the front, three feet on the side, and five feet at the rear. The site is on a corner and triangular, resulting in a setback of 10’ along both streets, and 3’ along the back. Three feet are given along that side, rather than five, because this side does face other buildings, not an alley.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 CODE SUMMARY<br />The site is large enough, and the building will be small enough, that there will not be a problem. In use group A3, with Construction Type IIB, the allowed size is 29,820 square feet and limited to three stories. This will not be a problem, as the proposed building is 3 stories, and only 25,000 square feet.The proposed Library will have sufficient egress to comply. The goal is for the BAC’s new library to achieve a minimum of a silver certification. <br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 <br />CULTURE<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 CULTURAL CONTEXT<br />Historic Context<br />For the most part, the residents of The Back Bay, and those who frequently pass through take pride in the history of the Back Bay. Mill Pond, which once sat where The Back Bay is today, was filled in and a grid of streets was laid on the new land. The grid and its creation set the neighborhood apart from the rest of the city. Almost anyone familiar with the neighbor is willing to take a moment to discuss its creation.<br />Architectural Context<br />The Back Bay is famous for its Brownstone buildings, but is also home to some more modern buildings, such as the Prudential Center, the BAC’s 320 Newbury location, and the Apple store.<br />Demography<br />Age:5% under 18,87% 18 – 64,8% 65+<br />Income:$66,428 Average<br />Employment:White Collar:85%<br />Blue Collar:15%<br />Education:No High School:3%<br />Some High School:2%<br />Some College:9%<br />Associates Degree:5%<br />Bachelors Degree:43%<br />Graduate Degree:38%<br />Social Issues<br />The Bus Stop and intersection become very difficult to navigate at times, as people meet here and pause to have a conversation on the sidewalk. There is nowhere to sit, or even seek shelter, while waiting for a bus. <br />Political Issues<br />The site is currently owned by the state, so, for it to be sold or leased, there would naturally be many political issues that would have to be dealt with. For one, who takes control of the site? Who maintains the site? How much is it sold or leased for? <br />Economic Issues<br />There is a small population of People Standing on the streets asking for spare change. The span of the open bridge, and wind it causes, might prevent people from walking from Newbury Street to Boylston along Massachusetts Ave. <br />Conclusion<br />The library will likely have no impact on, nor be impacted by, the demographics of the Back Bay, because they are not the population who will be using it.<br />The Pedestrian traffic versus people talking will have the biggest effect, because the library will bring new traffic patterns to the site. <br />Politics is the second most important factor, as some agreements will have to be made by all parties involved. Possibly, building for ease of access and maintenance will be required in the sale/lease agreement.<br />Another issue to look at is economic benefits of sheltering people from wind on the bridge. <br />Because of the blend of old and new architectural styles, there is a choice of which style to build in.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 <br />EVIDENCE<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010CONTEXT OF EVIDENCE<br />Physical Traces:<br />Leftovers<br />This Lock is evidence that the fence was once used for bicycle storage.<br />Missing Traces<br />Nothing is in this space to show it gets used.<br />Adaptations for use:<br />Connections<br />This woman is making use of the median to get to the bus stop form the T-stop.<br />Separations<br />The orange marker is dividing cars from people.<br />Props<br />A lock was used to turn this fence into a makeshift bike rack.<br />Displays of Self<br />Identification<br />Someone has marked this as their territory by painting their name.<br />Group Membership<br />A fan has shown their admiration for this band.<br />Public Messages<br />Official:<br />Here is a sigh to inform people how to get to the Subway.<br />Illegitimate:<br />This seems to be an advertisement someone stuck to the handrail<br />Conclusion<br />The two most important discoveries here are: that people are dissatisfied with the official pedestrian traffic patterns, and people do not occupy the space around the site for a long length of time.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 <br />BEHAVIOR<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010CONTEXT OF BEHAVIOR<br />10:00am Wednesday 2-24-2010Overcast around 40 degrees:<br />Density:<br />There was a steady flow of people and cars. About 8 people and 25 cars passed per minute.<br />Wayfinding:<br />Most people knew where they were going, and appeared to have their favorite places to cross. Many people did not use the crosswalks. It looks especially difficult for people to exit the Subway and walk to the crosswalk to get to the bus stop.<br />Stress/Accidents:<br />While no accidents were observed, there were many opportunities for collisions between cars and pedestrians. There were too many people – in cars and on foot – trying to get through the intersection at the same time.<br />Conclusion:<br />The biggest Problem is that drivers and pedestrians are in a constant struggle over who gets to go where and when.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 <br />INFORMATION<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010CLIENT PROFILE<br />Client:<br />Name:The Boston Architectural College<br />Address:320 Newbury Street<br />Boston, Massachusetts<br />Building Use:<br />Library<br />Description:<br />The BAC is an independent professional college concentrating on Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Design, and Design Studies. The BAC offers Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. The BAC was founded in the 1880s as the Boston Architectural Club. Its concurrent learning program combines classroom lessons with work in architectural firms. <br />The BAC prides itself on its connection to the community, opening its gallery to everyone, and continuing its connection to the design community, from which the BAC began. Everyone is welcome to visit the gallery and library. The BAC’s staff is made of practicing professionals.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010STUDENT INTERVIEW SUMMARY<br />Interviewee:<br />Name:Mika Gilmore<br />Place:320 Newbury St. Rm. 402 (Computer Lab) <br />Time:6:00pm 3/9/2010<br />Conclusion:<br />Mika is moderately disrupted by talking, but no other regular noise in the library bothers her. She doesn’t listen to music to block out the noise, because she wants in to be quiet. She likes to have a place where she can sit with her laptop and work comfortably, with plenty of space for books. She, and other users, is not happy with the chairs. Mika would like the books to be in the center, and have work stations all around. Lights are not as good as they could be. She wants a dedicated shelf to keep the books she is working with, and she wants access to them 24 hours a day.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010STAFF INTERVIEW SUMMARY<br />Interviewee:<br />Name:Whitney Vitale (Employed at BAC for five years)<br />Place:Library<br />Time:5:30pm3/9/2010<br />Conclusion:<br />The level of noise in the library, as it is now, is not a problem for Whitney, but she fears that she contributes to noise that disturbs users. Her job does not require her to be in the way of users, but there is the potential for BAC Student Workers to, while putting away books. The library needs to have private spaces for small groups. Other libraries she has worked in have had private rooms. As it is today, the alcove gets plenty of use. As for flexibility, the library isn’t able to keep up with the demand for scanners. The BAC library employs 7 full time workers, and usually 1 to 3 BAC Student Workers. The library also has several Clerks who work a few hours a week. The BAC is one of only a few libraries in Boston that does not allow only BAC students to use the resources.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010GUEST INTERVIEW SUMMARY<br />Interviewee:<br />Name:A Wentworth student who would not give his real<br /> name, for fear that he was not really supposed to<br /> be in The BAC's library <br />Place:The Bac Library<br />Time:7 :00pm03/09/10<br />Conclusion:<br />He was afraid that he was sneaking in, but he was, in fact, allowed to be in the library. It may have been because of the time of day, but he found the noise to be a distraction. He said if he felt that he was in the way, he would leave and come back another time. He is, as he pointed out, not paying to use the resources like the BAC students. If the school were smaller, any new face would get noticed. I, actually, first tried to interview him as a BAC student, and that was the only way I knew he was from Wentworth. The fact the current library is on the 6th floor, is very likely preventing more people not associated with the BAC from using the library.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 +<br />PRECEDENTS<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010PRECEDENT:PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY LIBRARY<br />Project:Phillips Exeter Academy Library<br />Architect:Louis I. Kahn<br />Location:Exeter, New Hampshire<br />Year Built:1967-1972<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010ANALYSIS:PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY LIBRARY<br />Circulation:The circulation at Phillips Exeter Academy Library is a loop that circles around an open space. The books and necessary spaces are on the outside of the loop.This idea will work great for the BAC’s new library, but the center will contain the study space, around which will be the books, photocopiers, circulation desk, etc.Natural Light:This library has light coming in and reflecting from four sides and the center. Nearly all of the building gets natural light. The new library could employ this method, providing natural light for reading.Structure:Pushing the structure away from the center allows light in, while the four columns near the center define the circulation loop.The form could be applied to the new library with little modification. <br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010PRECEDENT:STOCKHOLM LIBRARY<br />Project:Stockholm Library<br />Architect:Erik Gunnar Asplund<br />Location:Stockholm, Sweden<br />Year Built:1918-1927<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010ANALYSIS:STOCKHOLM LIBRARY<br />Circulation:<br />The arraignment of Stockholm Library allows for easy movement through the Shelves. Users can circle around or pass through.The BAC’s new library could use this pattern or something similar, so there is always easy access to the surrounding spaces.<br />Natural Light:<br />Light enters this library through windows around the top of the rotunda, casting light evenly in the rotunda, but no space has direct day light. The new library could have similar indirect light, in addition to spaces being given direct light by other means. <br />righttop<br />Structure: With the all structure located at the outer walls, the floor is free from columns. This would, prevent columns from interfering with circulation, or dictating the arraignment of the book shelves. The new library can limit columns to marking circulation only, if this method is used. <br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010PRECEDENT:CHAMBERLAIN COTTAGE<br />Project:Chamberlain Cottage<br />Architect:Marcel Breuer<br />Location:Wayland, Massachusetts<br />Year Built:1940<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010ANALYSIS:CHAMBERLAIN COTTAGEGOAL THREEGUEST INTERVIEW<br />Circulation:<br />The circulation at Chamberlain Cottage is a continuous loop, off of which are the frequently used spaces. The BAC’s new library can use a similar system, because with a single loop, you never have to worry about heading down the wrong hall, or incorrect direction.<br />Natural Light:<br />This library has two methods of bringing in light. The first is with full wall height windows, and the second is with windows just below the ceiling. The new library can employ both, to give a combination of indirect and direct sunlight. This will light the whole space evenly, and brightly light the reading spaces.<br />Structure:<br />The Structure is broken into columns, making a visual connection between spaces, but defining the two as separate.The new library should take this approach in forming reading spaces that are partially separate from the rest of the space.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 <br />FUTURE STATE<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010MISSION STATEMENT<br />Mission:The mission of the Library is to provide an information center which supports education in Architecture and related design fields<br />Context:The library should be efficient in function, and comfortable for all users. The space should welcome users from within and outside the BAC. Library staff must be able to carry out their jobs in the most efficient way, without interfering with, or being affected by, users. <br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010ISSUES<br />No. 1Audibility<br />Conversations<br />Photocopiers<br />Library Staff:<br />How do you rank noise as a distraction to your job?

Talking? Photocopier? other?<br />Importance:In addition to making the library more quiet, the site is above a noisy highway, so it will be important to know how much noise, and what kind can be tolerated<br />No. 2Convenience<br />Location<br />Enough space to work<br />Library Staff:<br />Can you do your job without bumping into other users?<br />BAC alumni/ local architect:<br />Is it easy for you to use the Library at the BAC?<br />Student:<br />What is the biggest inconvenience about the library? What is most convenient?<br />Importance:If the location of the library on the 6th floor is preventing people from using it, moving it to a separate building might as well?<br />No. 3Comfort<br />Seating<br />Privacy<br />Library Staff:<br />Are you able to perform your job without invading the privacy of the uses?<br />BAC alumni/ local architect:<br />Do you feel comfortable coming in and using a library with students? Do you feel like you are intruding on their privacy? Do you find that you are giving up a seat, or more comfortable seat for students?<br />Student:<br />Can you spread out and comfortably use the library?<br />Importance:Some users might, work around comfort issues, while others may avoid using the library for extended periods of time.<br />No. 4Circulation<br />From books to seats<br />From computer (index) to books<br />From bookshelves to bookshelves<br />From Books to copier<br />Library Staff:<br />Do you have to walk excessive distance to complete simple tasks?<br />BAC alumni/ local architect:<br />Have you noticed excessive circulation?<br />Student:<br />Could anything be moved to make circulation easier?<br />Importance:In a case where users and staff are pressed for time, they do not need to spend most of their time walking back and forth across a room.<br />No. 5Light<br />Sufficient light for reading <br />Lighting for bookshelves<br />Library Staff:<br />What light conditions need to be met for a usable library? For Students?

(example: allow for computer research or limited to printed books only?<br />Student:<br />Do the spaces limit the way you can use them? Is this good or bad?<br />Importance:Minute by minute, there will be different users, making different uses of the spaces, just as year by year, there will be different technologies, requiring different uses.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010GOAL ONE<br />Goal.:To invite outsiders to gain from, and contribute to, the learning experience.<br />Objective:To cater to BAC students, and the general public’s interest in Architecture and related fields.<br />P. R. 1:The entrances should be visible from each direction people are walking from.<br />People will arrive at the library from the parking garage, bus stop, green line stop, and both streets. this diagram shows what is visible on arrival.<br />P. R. 2:People walking past need to be able to see in.<br />Very few people will enter a building if they do not know what it is.<br />P. R. 3:The space outside the entrances must invite people to slow down and acknowledge the activities going on in the library.<br />By creating a plaza, people might pause and realize what the building is, and it offers a chance to explore the activities seen inside.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010GOAL TWO<br />Goal.:To achieve ideal working conditions for library staff.<br />Objective:To provide the optimum use of space for every task<br />P. R. 1:The Archive should be easily accessible from offices and Circulation Desk. <br />As show, staff can quickly walk back and forth between archive and desk.<br />P. R. 2:The Circulation Desk must be within a short distance from the offices.<br />In only a few steps, a staff member at the desk can be in the offices.<br />P. R. 3:The offices and Circulation Desk should be a short distance from user’s work areas.<br />Depicted above, the staff is close to the users, and are available to provide assistance.<br />GOAL THREETHE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010<br />Goal.:To accomplish convenient conditions for users<br />Objective:To reduce the distance and time spent walking<br />P. R. 1:Photocopiers should be located near where students are working <br />The photocopiers are shown in a separate room, to limit noise, but still close by.<br />P. R. 2:The Circulation Desk must be close enough to assist users, but not disrupt.<br />With the Circulation Desk close to, but not in, the work space, help can be provided with little distraction to the other users.<br />P. R. 3:With the exception of the environmentally conditioned room, all the books should be located in one space, near work stations and the computer catalog.<br />If the books are located in the center, they can be accessible from multiple surrounding spaces.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 BUILDING FOOTPRINT<br />Site Dimensions:<br />400’ abutting the old ICA Green Line stop<br />373’ along Boylston Street<br />And<br />140’ on Massachusetts Avenue<br />Set Backs:<br />3’ set back along the old ICA Green Line stop<br />10’ set back on Boylston St. and Mass.

The result was 10 and a half million. <br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 COST SUMMARY<br />From my analysis of cost, I can estimate that the total cost should be somewhere around $10.5 million. $4.3 million of that would be the cost of the building itself. The site is valued at $3.5 million, but, being over a highway, would likely only be leased to the school and not sold, so this price will change depending on negotiations between the school and MBTA. If the site is not purchased, the total budget should be around $7 million, but a recurring payment would be made for the lease.<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010 <br />APPENDIX<br />1<br />ASSIGNMENTCodes 1JEFF ESTESSPRING-2010 ZONING COMPLIANCE FORM<br />Zoning Compliance Form<br />Your Name and Contact Information:Jeff Estesjeff.estes@the-bac.edu<br />Project Name:LibraryProject Address:0 Boylston Street<br />Lot Size:25,830 square feet Frontage: 370'Lot Width: 140'<br />Zoning Information:<br />Applicable Zoning Regulations:B-8 120a<br />Zone Designation:B-8Special District Designation: 120a <br />Zoning Use(s):Library <br />Circle as applicable:A (allowed)C (conditional)F (forbidden)<br />Dimensional Restrictions:FY (10) SY (3) RY (5) FAR (8)<br />3423285407666<br />Attach Plot Plan or Sketch h<br />TM 685 & 7685 Programming and Codes<br />Building Code Worksheet Part 1<br />Your Name and Contact Information: _Jeff EstesJeff.estes@the-bac.edu____<br />Project Name: ______Library ________Project Address: ___0 Bolyston Street________<br />Building Code Information:<br />Applicable Building Code: _________IBC 2003__(Mass.

Talking? Photocopier? other?<br />Talking bothers her most. She wants silence.<br />Question 2)What is the biggest inconvenience about the library? What is most convenient? <br /> She likes the place by the magazines. She says she can sit and work there for hours. It would be better if it were open 24 hours. <br />Question 3)Can you spread out and comfortably use the library? <br />There are no comfortable places to sit. [voices came from the background saying the chairs are from the 60s, and not inviting.] The triangle chairs are far from comfortable. There is no space for a laptop computer. She wants there to be a high counter with stools to work at.<br />Question 4)Could anything be moved to make circulation easier? <br />It would be better if books were at the center, and work stations surrounded them.<br />Question 5)Are there any spaces in the library that could use more, or less light? <br />The lighting is horrible. It should have task lighting. The library needs indirect lighting. She feels it should have warm lights, rather than cools lights.<br />Question 6)Do the spaces limit the way you can use them? Is this good or bad? <br />She wants there to be spaces for users to store books and come back to later – like lockers. <br />ASSIGNMENTTWOJEFF ESTESSPRING-2010STAFF INTERVIEW<br />Interviewee:<br />Name:Whitney Vitale (Employed at BAC for five years)<br />Place:Library<br />Time:5:30pm3/9/2010<br />Question 1)How do you rank noise as a distraction to your job? Disruptive or minor annoyance? <br />Noise is not an issue. Her office does not have noise, and the tasks she performs in the library do not require silence.<br />Question 2)Can you do your job without bumping into other users?<br />BAC Student Workers do all the stocking. She is afraid she disturbs users while helping to find books.<br />Question 3)Are you able to perform your job without invading the privacy of the uses?<br />She wishes there were private rooms students could use when working in groups.There is an alcove that gets a lot of use when students want a private space.<br />Question 4)Do you have to walk excessive distance to complete simple tasks?<br />Whitney is constantly walking down to her office on the fifth floor, and back up again. She is not the only staff member who has to go up and down the stairs. Archives and another office are in the Mass. Ave. Building.<br />Question 5)What light conditions need to be met for a usable library? For Students? For Staff?<br />Natural light and other natural conditions cause harm to the oldest books that are in a separate sealed room. Current lighting was in place before the room became a library.<br />Question 6)Are there any traces in the library now of old technology that make your job more difficult? <br />The library began to use more technology in the 1990s. At that time, the file cabinet went away and was replaced with computers. The space does not have enough scanners. Under ideal conditions, there would be plenty of scanners.<br />ASSIGNMENTTWOJEFF ESTESSPRING-2010<br />Interviewee:<br />Name:A Wentworth student who would not give his real<br /> name, for fear that he was not really supposed to<br /> be in The BAC's library <br />Place:The Bac Library<br />Time:7 :00pm03/09/10<br />Question 1)Is the noise at the same level as where you are coming from?<br />“I have never been in the Wentworth Library at a time when noise was an issue. Here, I moved from the chairs near the copier to the tables at the back, because the noise from the copier”.<br />Question 2)Is it easy for you to use the Library at the BAC?<br />“As long as no one kicks me out. It is not at Wentworth, but it is worth coming to. There are not many people here, so I'm not in the way.”<br />Question 3)Do you feel comfortable coming in and using a library with students? Do you feel like you are intruding on their privacy? Do you find that you are giving up a seat, or more comfortable seat for students?<br />“I think I am the only visitor, but there is no one stopping me. I don't think I am invading. I try to give them respect.”<br />Question 4)Have you noticed excessive circulation?<br />“I am coming from outside the school, so I have to walk up 6 floors to get here.”<br />Question 5)How do you rate the quality of light: Inadequate or no room for improvement?<br />“The light doesn't make it impossible. I am mostly just photocopying pages to read later, therefore light is not a problem for me.”<br />Question 6)Does the library limit the way it can be used? (example: allow for computer research or limited to printed books only?<br />“I don't use anything except the photocopier, and I waited until it was available. There are not enough computers that I could use one if I wanted.”<br />THE BAC LIBRARYJEFF ESTESSPRING 2010SOURCES<br />Page 9:<br />Maps:Google Maps<br />Page 10:<br />Maps:Google Maps<br />Page 11:<br />Base image:www.mapjunction.com<br />Page 13:<br />Base image:www.mapjunction.com<br />Page 19:<br />Base image:www.mapjunction.com<br />Page 20:<br />Base image:www.mapjunction.com<br />Pages 21, 22, and 23:<br />Climate information:www.myforecast.com<br />Page 30:<br />Base image:www.mapjunction.com<br />Page 32:<br />Base image:Google Maps<br />Page 33:<br />Base image:www.mapjunction.com<br />Page 44:<br />Base image:www.mapjunction.com<br />Page 36:<br />Base image:www.mapjunction.com<br />Page 37:<br />Historical information:www.bostonherald.com<br />Page 38:<br /> Photograph:Google Maps<br />Page 39:<br />Real Estate Value:www.gis.cityofboston.gov<br />Page 43:<br />Zoning:Boston Redevelopment Authority<br />Pages 47 and 48:<br />Cultural information:www.homes.point2.com,<br />www.cityofboston.gov<br />Page 61:<br />Description and photograph:www.the-bac.edu<br />Page 67-72:<br />Information and<br />Base images:www.greatbuildings.com<br />Page 61:<br />Description and photograph:www.the-bac.edu<br />Page 107-108:<br />Cost Estimating:Pena, William.
