The first full architecture project, from the fall of my Sophomore year. The site was on our extended campus (at Lake Raleigh), and the project was to create a retreat/guest house/lecture space for visiting professionals. I was assigned Writers/English lecturers.
My final concept was based off of the components of the standard story- exposition, climax, resolution. This was expressed across the ground plane and in the elevation of the building.
This was also the first time I used Sketchup for a project. Final submissions included hand drawings, wooden concept models, and a scale model.
Looking at this project now, there is so much I would have done differently, both with the execution and the way I handled and thought about the assignment. I also included shots of some practice/experimental models, because for many of them, I see a much stronger potential project.
