Observations

From studying the site, I was able to analyze how the two buildings compared to the site in terms of visibility and how they may have impacted the site. From my observations, The Time Warner Center is a major point of desination for most users of the public space. Most of the pedestrian activity took place along the curve of the Time Warner Center where people gathered to meet company, talk, and eat either before entering the space or having left. The diagram above illustrates this activity. In the pictures below I attempted to capture the visibility of the circle from the accompanying directions.

A. 813 8^Tth Avenue

B. 1992 Broadway

C. 661 8^th Avenue

D. View from the Grand Army Plaza
