Architecture is an integral compositional process, where the designer must synthesize various attributes of a design solution. The goal of this project was to demonstrate the production of a comprehensively designed work of architecture. This proceeded through various stages, from the conceptual to the schematic. The result was a design that focused on 'integration with the site.' More specifically, this design blurred the boundary between the exterior and interior spaces.

buildings: a technical understanding
1'
Technical drawings are the final product or the ends to the means of work done by the architect. Their completion and reliability is paramount to the profession. With this in mind, this project was an exercise in gaining a technical understanding of all major structural, mechanical and architectural systems. The project required a complete detailing of the selection and placement of materials, as shown by the details. The ultimate gain of this experience was a greater tectonic awareness of buildings.

site+program: community center In the third studio, the students were introduced to 'architectural programming.' This is the determination of design needs, and the appropriate responses of the program to those needs. These include examining context and other determinates in the site. The project for this studio incorporated these considerations into the design of a community center, which features heated and conditioned pools, lockers, office and ramps for entering and exiting the facility. The geometry, plan configuration, and orientation of the structure took into account previouslyexisting infrastructure, pedestrian traffic, and landscape condition during the design phase leading up to the final iteration.

urbanism: multi-use parking garage In light of the lack of sustainability in the suburban built environment, density becomes ever more paramount. In the sixth and final studio, the focus was to prepare students for the challenge of providing adequate public space, and designing buildings to define that space. This was done through immersion in a urban environment and studying the connection between buildings and a city's public space. For this project, the program called for an underground parking garage, along with a multi-story restaurant, and a chapel. In addition, the students were encouraged to add more green space to the urban environment to encourage more sustainable architectural practices. By designing a solution with multiple functions within the same site, the ultimate intent of this studio was successful in providing an introduction to designing for the urban landscape.

precedent studies: To encourage more green space in the urban environment, the project incorporated green space atop the ramps that circulate on the site. Research led to selecting two precedents: the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, and the Highline in New York City. Both were appropriate due to their successful incorporation of green space, infrastructure, and urbanism.

Construction served as an introduction to architectural materials and construction methods. This increased an understanding of how different materials with varying connections cohere to create a structure as a whole. For this project, research and incremental work was expected throughout its development. The building solution consists of a concrete wall connected to a C.M.U. wall with a brick veneer that holds a glass screen wall. The concept was soundness. Massive and rigid materials are assembled in a such a way that they form a structure with great integrity. A screen wall composed of glass contrasts with the properties of the building but also compliments the structure with its aesthetics and secure connections.
