Mid Term Review November 4, 2009.

Goals:
My goals for this studio have been to create a very cohesive site plan with central axis that combine the indoor and outdoor spaces. This centralized structure will allow for relationships to develop within the disparate program functions.
The second goal was how to daylight all of the spaces, and preferably from two sides. This will e accomplished through transverse circulation cooridors being lit from above with skylights/sawtooth ridges, and develop light shelves on the east and south sides to project light deeper into the large spaces.
Thoughts:
Felt like a final pin up, but one I wasn't fully resolved with all of my choices, so it's nice to have 3 more weeks to fine tune things. The areas I have not spent much energy include the mediation space and courtyard and the roof planes. How to unify while keeping the separate functions visible will be the next challenge. Also how to draw the entire facade together with some horizontal lines, window light shelves?
Welcome to my journey
Here is a compilation of my experiences, most recently starting a Master of Architecture program at the University of Oregon. As the process unfolds, new doors and light reveals the things previously hidden. A process of learning, living, being.
