Taking sustainable design and convenience and rolling them all into one for a place whose purpose is to bring a community together
I choose this design for this particular elevation at the corner of Sunnyside Ave. and Sunflower Rd. because I felt people wanted to see over at the elevation and even the sunset. All the while being both outdoors with a courtyard/hangout area, and inside with a two story tall lobby and studios that oversee the courtyard and the skyline.
For this project, we looked at all five senses and we challenged ourselves to make a pavilion that catered to to all people regardless of senses they might have lacked. The other challenge was to not be over the top but rather to blend in all those senses into one major design that was welcoming to all people, plus we would also display art that was unique to people with different senses, so spacing was critical to the development of the sight.
On Mass. St., there are little walkways in between buildings, our goal was to make a studio within the dimensions of one of those walkways that stood out and made it appealing to people walking/driving by. I focused on a unique facade that wasn’t featured on any other building, and I wanted to design openings that would allow natural light to come in and keep the building moderate in temperature regardless of the season.
For this project, we went to a sight on lawrence’s east side by the train tracks and wanted to come up with a building that would be welcoming and get people to gather as a community. The entrance for my structure was along the curve of the road with a giant plaza outside for people to meet prior to entering the building. A lobby in the front only adds to the bonding experience thsi building is supposed to create, and the second story oversees the art and the front where everyone joins in blissful harmony.
This was a series of strctures for different sites that served to teach us about sustainable sight planning and material usage. Basically building a structure that would last a while and serve that sight well. different designs and new information regarding materials was needed. Overall, this project served as a good benchmark for where I was strong and where I could improve because my next project would take the lessons I learned from this module and push them to an extreme.
This project took all I had learned over the past two years and combined it into a welcoming center with outdoor space for a farmer’s market so that people could come from the neighborhoods west of the sight or Mass. st. from the east and join as one community. I took sustainable and striking features I had gathered last year and used them for the exterior, and I took the use of space and purpose from all my classes and used that on the interior and the outdor seating areas. This project I feel is the culmination of all that I learned over the last two years.
