CRITERIA MATRIX


AFTER LISTING SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROGRAMMATIC SPACES NEEDED TO DESIGN THE SPORTS FACILITY, I HAD TO CLASSIFIED EACH ONE OF THEM AND DECIDED WHAT SHOULD, MUST, OR WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE NEXT TO EACH OTHER. 
THE 19 MOST IMPORTANT SPACES I CHOSE WERE:

LOBBY                            STORAGE                             CARDIO ROOM
NURSE                           
FITNESS ROOM                     CLASS STUDIO
RECEPTION                     SOCCER COURT                    SUN DECK
GYMNASIUM                    TENNIS COURT                     WORK-STATION
LOCKER ROOM                OFFICES                               CAFE
POOLS                            DAYCARE                             BATHROOM  
                                                                                LAUNDRY ROOM

  1. This is a great start. I would suggest at looking at your precedents for program of spaces. When you make a matrix like that is good to start thinking how a user walks thru the building. What is the first space a guest encounters. You are going to need a lobby. Administration should be close to the lobby. Than I proceed to the locker rooms. There should be a place to get towels. You will need a laundry room.
    From than on I move to the sports facility you would like to have.
    Based on your site analysis, and community evaluation, what does REDHOOK need? This is a site next to the water. Is there any water sports you would like to include. How are you taking advantage of this amazing location. Do you have a dock? How do you accomodate for the canoes? Swimming?

  2. Also look at the brooklyn bridge park and what they offer. In the master plan - the waterfront path would connect the Brooklyn bridge parks to Redhook. This could provide a physical connection and also promote the outdoor exercise. Yes - there are races in the River. There is a race around Liberty Island among others.
