Herberger Student Center & Gallery On Forest Mall, ASU Tempe Campus
Exterior:
The Building Exterior is meant to reflect Arizona’s culture and Architecture, as well as make a statement on the mall for design and the arts itself, as the project is meant to represent the Herberger Design School at ASU. The project quite literally revolves around this idea of a slot canyon running through the building from the South side to the East side, which creates an area of passage, as well as separates the project into two distinct parts. The walls of a slot canyon also clearly express a theme of layering. That theme was translated into the project through the building materials. The materials used in the exterior are all native to Arizona, from the stone panels, to the rusted steel accents and gabion planters.
Site/Landscape: The Site acts as a transition space between
the very non-orthagonal student center building and the surrounding orthagonal context of ASU’s Tempe campus. It sets up nice lines of site toward the building, and makes room for plenty of native landscape. The design aspects of the site are taken directly from the building it stems from.
