INITIAL INSPIRATION
THE FOLLOWING 6 SLIDES EXEMPLIFY AN APPROACH TO A DESIGN PROCESS THAT CULMINATES IN THE FINAL BUILDING DESIGN . THIS BEGINS WITH CLIENT WORKSHOPS THA T HELP THE PROJECT TEAM UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY FOR WHICH THE BUILDING IS BEING CREATED . STEPS ARE UNDERTAKEN TO EXPLORE THOSE BIG IDEAS , AND THESE BEGIN TO ARTICULATE THE IDEAS INTO PHYSICAL FORM . THIS PROCESS ULTIMATELY MANIFESTS THE ARCHITECTURAL AND INTERIOR DESIGN EXPERIENCE OF THE FINISHED BUILDING
THE SE SLIDE IMAGES WERE TAKEN FROM THE GREENVILLE RECREATION PROJECT IDEATION PROCESS
LIKE A BUILDING THAT RESTS ON FIRM FOOTINGS, GREENVILLE HAS THE FOUNDATION THAT WILL ALLOW IT TO LEAP INTO THE FUTURE . UPON THIS STABLE BASE, THE COMMUNITY CAN GROW AND FLOURISH . THE NEW RECREATION CENTERS WILL BECOME THE SITES OF METAMORPHOSIS , WHERE INDIVIDUALS CAN EMBRACE NEW CHALLENGES, UNDERGO PERSONAL TRANSFORMATIONS, AND BUILD SELF - CONFIDENCE . SMALL CHANGES CAN HAVE BIG IMPACTS ; THEY JUST NEED A SPARK . THESE CENTERS WILL BE THE DRIVING FORCE THAT EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME A CATALYST , ACTIVELY SEEDING POSITIVE CHANGE WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES . OUR FIRST DESIGN THREAD IS CATALYST .
OUR FIRST DESIGN THREAD IS : CATALYST
TAKING THE NEXT STEP : CONCEPT VERBIAGE ARTICULATED INTO FORM
IN SUMMARY, THESE INITIAL THREE THREADS BEGIN TO ARTICULATE THE IDEAS FOR THE FORWARD DIRECTION THAT THE CITY OF GREENVILLE ASPIRES TO FOCUS . THESE CENTERS WILL BECOME A FOCAL POINT FOR ENGAGEMENT , PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GROW AND FLOURISH, LIKE A WELL -TENDED GARDEN . THESE FACILITIES WILL PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELFIMPROVEMENT AND SOCIAL INTERACTION IN A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL WHO WALK THROUGH THE DOORS . THE HOPE IS THAT THESE RECREATIONAL BUILDINGS BECOME BEACONS TO THE CITY, OPENING THE HEARTS OF THE COMMUNITY UP TO LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES .
OUR ALL-ENCOMPASSING DESIGN THREAD IS: FLOURISH
TAKING THE NEXT STEP : CONCEPT VERBIAGE ARTICULATED INTO FORM
