I will be working with the Brooklyn DUMBO site. I have decided to choose this site for a number of reasons. First I find the views in the Brooklyn site much more interesting than the Manhattan site. Second, my building typology is a Mosque & Islamic school. Being that the brooklyn site is across the street from a major park it is a plus, including the view of the city and the water. I believe it is the best fit for a building in which people will be going to pray, relax and be one with God. It should be a relaxing feeling, which the views at the brooklyn site will provide. That is why I believe the Brooklyn site is best suited for my project.
