Studio Final: Site Analysis

The front patio allows spectacular views (red) to and from Copley Square as well as The Boston Public Library. The patio is going to attract people to come up and see the views of the city. The smaller west side patio provides views of the New Old South Church.
Blue represents pedestrian flow. The sidewalks help direct flow in the major locations of the city.
The dark green represents the grassy park area of Copley Square. People of all ages currently come here for many different activities like walk their dog, toss a frisbee, or just sit and relax. People in the park would be able to look up and see others looking at them from the patio which entices them to go up themselves.
The light green represents the traffic flow. Both Dartmouth St. and Boylston St. are one way streets this also helps direct people towards the site.
