The focus pursues to integrate the natural with the built environment, sustaining specific programatic activities in accordance with the existing characteristics and conditions of the area.

The BREWER MUSEUM seeks to showcase the brewing process of Savannah produced beers, stimulating tourism and

the local economy

while educating and engaging the public through interactive exhibits.

The museum will feature brewing workshops for hobbyists and a SKY BAR that overlooks the Savannah skyline. The outdoor plaza will serve as a liaison for

River proximity allows for the building to maximise passive cooling during the s u m m e r, w h i l e t h e i n s e t d e s i g n i n t o t h e sloped site allows for geothermal energy to be harvested during the winter for heat.

Architectural Fundamentals III Spring 2014 Professor Jean Jaminet

The architectural design discourse follows an object oriented ontology where the experience and space quality overcome human scale. The site is located on a high end shopping district in Japan adjacent to other fashion company iconic buildings.


The concept is inspired from

PROGRESSION

The footprint repetition of the initial designs created a grid that set up the parameters for the following prompt. The final model was the product of a study of movement, light and circulation. Ample glazing in the northern facade provides indirect daylighting while shading panels block direct sunligh on the eastern and western facade. Skylights and a centralized atrium allow fo r a c h i m n e y e f fe c t to co o l t h e b u i l d i n g p a s s i ve l y.
