Final Presentation

This project is based in Providence, Rhode Island on the RISD campus.

This was a group effort designed to provide an interdisciplinary study center between two departments, Architecture and Industrial design.

Both of these departments utilize similar facilities and a space in between could provide greater opportunities for collective work. Using tools like Diva and Light Simulation, we designed this space while considering the environmental conditions of the existing site.
