Brooklyn Site Geometry

 These are some of my initial design ideas. I wanted to use the idea of a continuous ribbon to guide my design decisions. Initial I did not use angles taken directly from the site, but after a suggestion from one of my professors I also did an analyzation of the sites geometries. The most dominant lines coming from the orientation of the Brooklyn Bridge (green line).
