Located in the valley of the Appalachian Mountains, rests an independent new comer among urban places in the Southeastern region of the United States. Roanoke, Virginia – a thriving city and an excellent depiction for the future of the urban South. Roanoke is small city with a total area of 42.9 square miles according to the US Census Bureau and has a population close 95,000 people.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Focus is on the intersection of physical forces associated with life and motion in a rotating environment and the geometric architectural response to those forces.

PRODUCTION

Goal is to create a visual and directional dialog between production space and consumption space through educational space - a space not associated with drinking alcohol.

Initial development focused on entry, functionality and visual connections of program studied in elevation.

Massing was developed through a twisted rectangular prism which draws attention from curiosity and suggest entry by gesture.

Music Conservatory (30,000SF)

SPRING 2016

The Roanoke Youth Music Conservatory involves the design of music and associated public spaces in a former industrial neighborhood. The clients wish to create an engaging and safe place, grounded in a belief of the inspirational power of music. The Conservatory should foster a sense of self-worth and community for the youth of the Star City.

In an attempt to capture a panoramic view in a singular form, I studied a cube that twists as it extrudes. Ideally this form was planned to house the concert hall – the most significant part of the building, while simultaneously providing multiple views of the city. My studies extended to the rest of the building in which I captured local views within the site. As one progressed higher to the top of the twisted form one would see distant views of the city.
