Landscape Design

In developing the landscape concept of my design, I have again come to the question of how the building and landscape interact. Conceptually, the building and the greater landscape exist on a sort of continuum along the experiential trails that run through the site. The building represents the more structured, formal kind of learning environment, while […] […]

Eco Review Summary

The last review proved to be very helpful in guiding me towards the final. While I had ideas about the solar, ventilation, water and HVAC systems of the building, after the review, I had a clear idea of how they can all work together and got some innovative ideas about water collection and reuse that […] […]

Review 2.

The second review went quite well. The reviewers agreed that the approach to the site was interesting but requires a more in depth interaction with the limited landscape.

They like the […] […]

Environmental Review

The environmental review last Monday helped solidify many of my passive strategies I am integrating into my design. I’ve diagrammed solar, wind and water concepts along while formulating my wall section and roof form. I feel like I have analyzed various viewpoints of my building on many scales and that I’ve 90% synthesized my design. […]

Mid-term Review 2

I got some ideas on how to manage rain water and water in general, and I’m going to proceed in making the each atrium space unique and atmosphere. I see the Atriums doing multiple things, cleaning/ polishing grey water through plants, a formal a… […]

Environmental Review

Monday’s review of the “environmental” aspects of our project felt somewhat like a dress rehearsal for the final (final!) review in a few weeks. If I’ve learned anything here at U of O it’s that there are basic rule of thumb concepts that everyone should know about air, water and sun in regards to buildings […] […]
