The Hive -Architectural Design Studio - Fall 2022

Living Creating Community

Columbus IN

The program that was given to us this semester was a collection of different building types, like residential, studios, workshops, café, a gallery, a library, and communal gathering spaces designed for a group of artists. When we were talking about different ideas for the program’s name, “the Hive” was one of the suggestions, and because These artists live, work, eat, socialize, exercise, and do a lot of their daily activities in this complex, it resonated with me. I started thinking of this project as a collection of buildings that are supposed to fit in together and make one whole complete piece. However, due to circumstances like site limitations and program requirements, they have dispersed.
