early process

This is the process I used to get away from the symmetry that I had a problem with.  purple-long term exhibit, green-storage/stageing/offices, yellow-gathering/food prep, pink-gift shop/restrooms/mechanical, blue-short term/entry.  By using this is how I came up with my final plan, which is seen in ...more process... october 4th.

Attempting to come up with a plan that is traditional with small axises(or axi, not sure) off of the main axis


yes they look like anchors.


This plan goes with the following two images.

Display idea of having panels of some material hung between wood columns that create a more intimate space within a vast one and they are movable to change with the exhibits.

1/3 presented with a more modern look to it.

1/3 presented and this more of a centralized plan with some ideas of elevations.

1/3 that we presented floor plans, this is a traditional colonial layout which started the whole mess.

Now pushing the different organizations  into forms.



Bubble diagrams trying to figure out which form of organization goes with parti.

Final Process

 Here are some pictures from the sketchup model and drawing from final boards.

snow break

Here is some process for our snow sculpture contest.  We wanted to go for a structure that described these words:  tension, shear, balance, overpowering, inferiority, powerful, and dynamic.  A process sketch of ideas.
As a group we really like how the triangle hangs over when a person would go right next to it.  Also how it seems substantial and light as you walk around it to see how thing it is.  There is also tension created by the way that the sphere is balancing act of holding up the triangle.  Also the sphere looks like it could come rolling down.
Some construction detail in elevation form.

SketchUp model for the first presentation.

.....more process.....

Some more process on the project, while working on snow symposium
This is looking at how circulation (laid over openings) would work both around the floor as well as vertically up to the widows walk.


Openings of the different spaces. I want lots of natural lighting as well as people in the spaces to be able to be accessible to lots of openings.

This is an idea of how I want the outdoor spaces to look like.  I want to have an educational space on the (west side) just outside the exhibition space.  Then another one on the (south side) that would go along with the social aspect of the program, but can also be used other times too.
