This was a 15 week project to quickly and efficiently understand comprehensive building in the world of architecture. The analysis of the project included urban categories of intense, transitional and marginal urban spaces within the Lafayette, Louisiana downtown area.

The analysis led to an understanding of dynamic relationships and play between the three categories as they intertwine with each other in the downtown area. This understanding then lead to the basic schematic design for the building, a play between materials, program, and space.

BUCHANAN [urban mix use]- creating architecture beyond ‘building.’

marginal, empty, no pedstrian space

To transition from schematic design into design development, modeling was used to inspire dynamic relationships between materials, program, and space. Specifically relevant model work include two model studies working through plan and section. These models were able to detach at three floor levels and two building sections, allowing further study and anaylsis in a three dimensional form while simultaneously developing the architectural design.

Nearing the end of the 15-weeks, construction documentation for the project was started. Since built architecture revolves around the aspect of documentation and management, the experience gained from this phase of the project is extremely valuable. This project was used as an introduction to creating CDs, professional practice, and managerment in architecture. I worked with Carl B Trimble, RA (30+ years professional experience). The final documentation completed for the project included; site plan, two floor plans, two reflected ceiling plans, two exterior elevations, two building sections, two wall sections, stairs, details, specification outline, and cost estimate.
