PRELIMINARY SECTIONAL IDEAS
Final diagrams
Each artwork is given at least one alternative viewing opportunity from the main intended one. This illustrates the idea of viewing the “behind the scenes” of a carefully composed piece of work. This aligns with Jeff Wall’s idea of real vs staged.
Section a
second floor
Section B
Morning Cleaning, Mies Van der Rohe Foundation, Barcelona 1999
The Storyteller 1986
DEsign goals
-Relay back to the idea of “staged views”
-Create at least 1 alternative view for each artwork
-Utilize the glowing white light boxes to draw intrigue from the street
-Create controlled reveals

IDEA #2
IDEA #3
Creating Vertical Connections and continuity
Using an atrium and a continuous brick veneer wall creates continuity between the library floors. For the final design, a very similar strategy was used.
Conceptual work
Mount Mitchell Pavillion
The goal with this project was to draw from the surrounding landscape to influence the pavilion’s form. During site visits, personal photos were used to create collages to emulate the “feeling” of the project design goal. By combining site photos with design intentions, these mark the beginning of the conceptual design phase for this assignment.
chosen concept idea
The idea of incorporating a windmill form ultimately became the chosen option to develop further. From there, ideas of how to “control views” and create “spatial tension” developed a more well-rounded concept.
Design Goals
-create a form that blends into the existing street facades
-create spaces that cater to each age group of the Junction City Community.
-highlight not hide the books
-create clear distinctions between reading areas versus more modern library needs
Spatial Organization
With Rhino, I utilized 2-D boxes to organize the required program through plans and section view. The following is the final chosen spatial organization.
1.
Basement Level = Adult Stacks, Independent Study Spaces
Main Level = Children Stacks, Outdoor Space, Community Emphasis
Second Level = Teen Stacks, Public Speaking, Group Spaces
2.
3.
JUnCTION CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY
Questions from Site Visit: How do I combine elements of the historical nature of Junction City Main Street while creating something new that draws pedestrians inside?
form exploration
Concept models explored ways in which a windmill’s form could be interpreted.
Form finding
Something that went through many different iterations was the form. The idea of making two modular structures on the ends to act almost as “bookends” ended up being used. Through iterations, the left form eventually became emphasized even more. The main issue was creating and justifying the roof structure for the center mass. The clerestories in these images were eventually eliminated due to the harsh lighting effects, and I opted for a much simpler roof form later on.
