Both architecture and music are art forms, and while they draw from different expressions, they are brought together by rhythm and proportions, from which creativity and ideas are born. For this project, I wanted to incorporate the Greek history that the site of the project held; while creating a musical hall that separated the client's and employ’s space.
This project is ensembled as an extension to an already existing architecture building on the UIUC campus. The Architecture Annex Extension is designed as a space for students to relax and sleep in. Two floors without windows to isolate the space from the rest of the building, and an additional floor for socializing and relaxing.
Professor: Melgarejo De Berry
This project found in the midst of Chicago deprived of greenery set out to bring nature into a restaurant. Having windows plastered all through the façade allows nature within the building to be connected from the interior to the exterior space.
