LUBBOCK ART SCHOOL

from Undergraduate Portfolio - Texas Tech University

THE ANGLED PAVILION

TO FORM THE FINAL DESIGN FOR AN ART SCHOOL IN LUBBOCK, STUDENT GROUPS WERE FORMED AND WITHIN THOSE GROUPS, TWO PRECEDENTS WERE CHOSEN TO STUDY SO THAT AN ELEMENT CATALOG COULD BE CREATED AND USED FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT.

ELEMENT CATALOG: MILAM RESIDENCE

ELEMENT CATALOG: VILLA VPRO

PRECEDENT ANALYSIS

Bar Hybrid Model

ELEMENTS WERE CHOSEN FROM BOTH PRECEDENT CATALOGS TO CREATE A HYBRID MODEL THAT COULD THEN BE MULTIPLIED AND MANIPULATED INTO A LARGER AND COHESIVE FORM.

ELEMENTS CHOSEN: MILAM FACADE AND VILLA VPRO FLOOR SLABS

Hybrid Model

VILLA VALAMARNA, DESIGNED BY PALLADIO, WAS THE PRECEDENT STUDY TO USE FOR THE FURTHER DESIGN OF THE SOLAR OBSERVATORY.

WHEN STUDYING THE DESIGN OF THE CHOSEN VILLA, A GREATER CONCEPT WAS CHOSEN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

THE MAIN CONCEPT FOUND THROUGH THIS STUDY WAS THE SYMMETRICAL “HINGE” THAT WAS PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN.

Precedent Analysis

TAKING THIS FURTHER AND APPLYING THE IDEA OF THE CONCEPT MODEL TO OUR GIVEN SITE AND START TO BUILD FORM.

CARRYING ON THE IDEA OF THE SYMMETRICAL “HINGE”, A CONCEPT MODEL WAS CREATED TO FURTHER DEVELOP THE IDEA INTO A VISUAL CONCEPT.

Concept Models

SOLAR OBSERVATORY

APPLIED CONCEPT OF THE “HINGE” IN AN ARRANGED FORM ON THE GIVEN SITE TO GIVE A SOLAR OBSERVATORY.

ANALYZING THE CITY OF BOSTON TO STUDY THE URBAN PLANNING AND THE CULTURE SO THOSE IDEAS CAN BE BROUGHT TOGETHER TO CREATE A CLIMATORIUM ADDRESSING AN ISSUE IN BOSTON.

CITY ANALYSIS

THE DRIVING POINT OF THE BOSTON CLIMATORIUM IS THE ORIGINAL SHORELINE OF BOSTON AND HOW THROUGHOUT HISTORY, THERE HAS BEEN INFILL TO CREATE THE AREA OF BOSTON KNOWN TODAY. WITH THIS INFILL CAME THE ISSUE OF WATER POLLUTION IN THE CITY. THE PRIMARY STUDY OF THE CIMLATORIUM EMPHASIZES WATER POLUTION AND HOW THE ORIGINAL SHORELINE RUNS THROUGH THE GIVEN SITE.

THE FOLLOWING SHOW AN ANALYSIS ON THE SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE GIVEN SITE AND THE SITE ITSELF. THIS INFORMATION IS TAKEN TO FURTHER THE DEVELOPMET OF THE OVERALL FORM OF THE CLIMATORIUM.
