Local Architecture

One of the newer buildings in Grays is South Essex College which has a modern look to it with all its lines being sharp and angular as the build has no curves. There is a large entrance with a massive glass wall where the logo can be seen. Away from the pain section there are 2 symmetrical parts at an angle spreading out, which make the entrance feel enclosed and private. To study the space ,I took photos to which I drew elevations and plan views of the college. After walking around London, I looked at the local area of Grays where the park is based and see what builds and styles can be seen throughout. The college Is less then 5min away from Grays beach meaning there are hundreds of students in the area as well as adults studying in the area . There is not much space around the college so many may want to use Grays beach as a social space away from college for their frees or after college. This adds value into a social area such as an café or hangout spot for many age ranges. The building has a grid like feel with everything having vertical and horizontal lines through the windows and the metal panels which make up the exterior of the college.
