Portfolio Analysis ofthe Philadelphia
Museumof Art
Makes an exceptionalgathering space, at street level
However, noise from the street�lters very avidly into the frontentrance of the plaza.
*The fountain helps �lter outthat noise from the rest of the plaza.
Ramp with tight corners does not allowproper access into the museum, with the top steps spanning across the center, blockading space for a proper extension to the access ramp.
Also provides exceptional gathering space;fountain, furthermore, �lters out noisecoming into the plaza from passing automobiles
Horseshoe shape of museum, furthermore, shields plazafrom outside noise, from passing automibiles, and other noisescoming in from the rest of Philadelphia
Alcove space, at the werstern corners of the plazaprovide substantial shading, along with the horseshoe formof the museum; but could use additional landscape, as well as break in symmetry.
, as well as from excessive sunlightOpening to basement areaway should bebarricaded to reduce noise, coming in, from the plaza,to the museum’s commercial space
