Course Description: Prototyping Adaptive Re-Use of Parking Structures for the California Governor Office of Research & Planning
"Through a comprehensive and integrative design focus, this studio continues with the work already performed on the AR802 studio project and builds upon the lessons of AR801 and AR802. Students are expected to incorporate and demonstrate a clear understanding of structure, enclosure, circulation, building systems, sustainability, accessibility, and universal design and the role of the individual building in the larger contextual fabric. In preparation for their thesis year, students are expected to develop, articulate, and incorporate their own personal understanding of architecture and its role in the greater societal and global dialogue. Presentations emphasize detailed models and composite drawing techniques incorporating three-dimensional computer renderings, plans, and freehand sketches. "
This project also was developed to be entered into the Skyhive 2021 competition and is featured in the shortlisted projects section at https://architecturecompetitions.com/skyhive2021/
