tectonic library
purpose:
Graduate design studio project focused on the tectonic nature of building design. The program requirements included a 20,000 sq.ft. public library on a corner site in Washington D.C. at the intersection of Vermont Avenue and T Street.
design solution:
I focused on the exploration of massing studies, structural and mechanical systems integration, as well as sustainable building strategies. The mutidisciplinary design team at ARUP consulted with me throughout the course of the design process. The project culminated with the completion of a detailed half inch-scaled sectional model of the design which highlighted the structural detailing and building systems integration.
