PRECEDENT STUDIES

Viveda Wellnes Retreat

The project’s second goal was to learn about and incorporate building practices from the Beze hamlet and nearby communities. Houses in this region are often built with a stone base, timber structure, brick or mud walls, and clay pot tiles for roofing. Construction, like most other activities, is viewed as a cooperative collection of activities involving the exchange of skills, labor, and materials.

Room Design

Develop, Analyze, and Revise a single-occupancy room design. The space must be ADA accessible and has a specific program and dimensions kit of pieces. Drawings will be used to investigate ideas and carry them out.

Butaro Doctors Housing

Four two-bedroom residences have been built on a terraced hillside about five minutes’ walk from the hospital. By focusing on creative, earthquake-safe, and sustainable procedures that use local resources, the project serves as an example of high-quality building.

Concepts

Using the three-dimensional models as a source of inspiration I created three space sequences that contain each of the five themes and explore the possibilities for the voyage and procession. The goal for each scheme was to gain something or learn a lesson that they could carry with them for the rest of their lives and pass on to others.
