SPATIAL PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING SPACES IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONCEPT. THIS PROCESS INVOLVED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN AXIS AND FORMING SPACES OFF IT THAT CORE. THE GYM IS THE PRIMARY SPACE AND THE OTHER SPACES WRAP AROUND IT.

PLAN VIEW OF STRUCTURAL GRID LAYOUT. A STEEL, ONE-WAY SYSTEM ALLOWS FORCE TO TRAVEL FROM THE FLOORS TO THE COLUMNS AND DOWN TO THE FOUNDATION. THIS PROCESS INVOLVED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ZONES AND ORGANIZING THE GRID OFF OF IT. THE ZONES ALLOWED FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE COLUMNS.

SPACING OF EACH COLUMN WAS DETERMINED BY THE FIVE DIFFERENT ZONES THAT WERE USED TO ESTABLISH BOTH FORM AND STRUCTURE. EACH COLUMN ALIGNS WITH THE CORRESPONDING SPACES TO SUPPORT EACH ZONE.

D I A G R A M 1 8 . 0 - ROOF SYSTEM THE USE OF A GREEN ROOF OR ECO-ROOF WAS USED TO PREVENT WATER BUILDUP ON THE LOW SLOPING ROOF. GRAVEL ON THE EDGES TO PREVENT GROWTH OF VEGETATION OVER EDGE OF BUILDING AND BARRIERS AND INSULATION ARE USED TO PROTECT INTERIOR.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS WERE CRITICIAL TO THIS DESIGN, FOCUSING ON SEVERAL KEY ASPECTS THAT UTILIZE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS TO CREATE AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE FOR THE USERS AND WORK WITH THE ENVIRONMENT TO BENEFIT EVERYONE.

THIS DESIGN UTILIZED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GLASS WINDOWS TO OPEN FOR EASY VENTILATION DURING THE COOLING SEASON AND MINIMAL OPENINGS TO THE NORTH TO MAINATAIN HEAT AND PREVENT WIND FROM CREATING IRRITATION FOR THE USERS THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING DURING THE WARMING SEASON.
