Game Plan

Concept: Learning Components
The BAC provides a unique education that involves different components than your typical education. Combining studio and practice into one allows for us to learn and grow from each of the components. This translates into the studio, living spaces and practice spaces being uniquely defined. A scrim wall provides a visual cue linking these spaces together to form our education experience.

Time to explore:
Floor plans: open up the first floor. I am looking at the administration spaces being much more open on the ground floor, almost interactive with the public. Private offices still exist on the lower level for some form of privacy. I am looking at the diagonal taking some form on this level.
Waste Water/Storm Water: So much to explore, so little time. I am now looking at how this will relate to the interior spaces. I am using some quick site plans to further this study.
Scrim Wall: Lots more to develop. I have begun exploring different materials and the use of integrated PV. The residential spaces open up into a loggia. This part is also enhanced with shading devices. The entry is open and traversable at the pedestrian level with some minor exceptions. I see these being great opportunities for signage and neighborhood postings.
And with all that said, it's time to see some drawings...
