Project 5 - Community Arts & Trades Learning Center

Professor Benjamin Vanmuysen

2nd Year, 1st Semester

2020 for structure.

This project involves the design of a learning center that allows members of the community to visit and learn the trade offered. The trade chosen was woodworking, as it is fairly simple and offers many practical uses.

These bays are differentiated by roof type, formal characteristics, and the manner in which light is let in.

The formal makeup of this middle bay is derived from the negative space formed by the left bay.

These 3 main volumes (bays) are then extruded back through the site.

Red members responbile for supporting middle bay structure.

There is an outdoor gathering space located in the middle bay that works as a rest/eating area, and combines the programmatic responsibilities of all 3 bays, allowing for small events and presentations to take place.
