Final Team Project: Defining Space for Architectural Design Workshop (ARCH 2630-002)

The fundamentals of design can be explored for a lifetime. Pre-architecture students get a taste of designthe process and the product in Design Workshop 2630a studio class. Their final project is to express the nature of a site through designing and building a team project on a site of their choice around the Art and Architecture building on campus. Over the course of three weeks, the student teams analyzed, documented, sat in, and listened to their chosen site . . . what did the site look, sound, feel like? What could be built that made the essence of the site come alive? This semester, three teams tried their hand at working with this design problem. Team 3 designed sequential frames that moved visually from the end of a cement wall at one end of their site and flowed through the open space toward the new library buildings southwest corner.
