Design 1

Here is my first design. I was playing with the roofing system. I want some of my roof line to come into the building to form rooms throughout the building. I don't know if i like it too much. I have a lot of kinks to work out with the design. This weekend I will be working on the concept some more to develop it.

The Guild

For this project our class was given a site in downtown Newport News. We have to design a 20,000 square foot facility for a guild of craft people. The building most consist of a workshop/studio space for the artisans, and museum/ gallery space.

We visited the site and got a feel for the surrounding buildings. The site is facing the water and has existing buildings to the right left and back of it. Here are a few pictures of the site and the class Study Model
