BRKLYN Film Institute
BRKLYN Film Institute (Spring 4th Year, 2009)
Urban architecture asks a building to minimize its own architectural intent and become part of a bigger whole. This project asks us to be part of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Because of its location on the water, it is important that the BRKLYN Film Institute open up and embrace the fact that it is not part of Manhattan, but is Brooklyn. This institute uses that view as a back drop, much like in fi lm or other forms of media. It embraces the site, the park to direct north, and beyond the river to one of the greatest cities in the world.
However, it remains modest. It is important that this building recognize the importance of its place in the city as more important, and lasting, than its own presence could ever be. To achieve this, the building has organized itself into a rational form derived from its own program. The nature of the area surrounding the fi lm institute can feel constrictingdue to the presence of the Brooklyn Bridge to the West and Manhattan Bridge to the East. Also, the late 19th Century, early 20th Century buildings that surround the site have their own aesthetic. In order to create a modest synergy between new and old, the BRKLYN Film Institute slips into the existing Tobacco Warehouse through the insertion of a new, smart building, rather than imitation of an existing form.
The BRKLYN Film Institute seeks to create a space both separate, and connected to the DUMBO area, park and city to the North by creating a seamless transition between park and building by creating a public space available for the civic connected to the park by the use of existing openings in the Tobacco Warehouse and absence of a roof, yet separate and enclosed by the walls and program of the BRKLYN Film Institute.
