SALIX HALL, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA

An innovative philosophy for campus housing is one that encompasses engage, unwind and extend in the same space. The playfulness of forms interact with the users senses, emphasizing gentle undulating curves within its hidden courtyard, which opens up into an inviting space that allows for overhangs and shadows, housing a place 05 to sit and rest.

SALIX HALL, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA

Salix Halls vertically climbing voids allow for sun lit balconies and lawns, places for play and focus settled between areas of housing. The public ground floor invites constant movement and circulation through the space, mimicking the motions of the bends and forms in walls framing the sky above.

LIMINARY SITE ANALYSIS

THE NORMAN COMMUNITY CENTER IS A SPACE THE ENCOURAGES PUBLIC GATHERING IN COMUNAL AREAS THROUGH COURTYARD AND CONNECTING LINEAR CIRCULATION PATHS. LIKE AN URBAN EDGE, THE PROJECT FOCUSES ON A STRONG IMMEDIATE CONNECTION TO THE STREET AND UTILIZES HALLWAYS AS ALLEYWAYS WITH CONSTANT MOVEMENT BETWEEN PROGRAMS. BY PUSHING THE STREETSCAPE AND FACADE TOGETHER, A FLOW IS CREATED BETWEEN THE TWO, FORMING A SEAMLESS EDGE. 4
