Phasing Development

In order to help faciliate these changes into a small town we introduced the idea of phasing. This allows for the hospital to begin getting deconstructed into a nursing home,diagnosticsandambulatorycare. Since some people will be displacedduetotheprocess,bycarefullyintegratingthehousinginto the correct stages, the transition into new afforadable housing is seamless.

I had never realized how similar in function museums all were. Whiletheyallvaryincollection,sizeandlocationtheonething that did not seem to differ was how museums were run.
