Redesign Your School Athletic Pavilion | 2014 National High School Architecture Competition #211: Recent activity

I think this is a nice start. Would love to see the building from different perspectives with varying sun angles. Would also like to understand where the rotating glass units are. Might also help to label the parts of your design that encompass the various rooms. Not sure what I'm looking at.

Overall though, your process was good. Would've liked to have seen the end design solution better reflect all of the great thinking that went into this project.

I think this is a very inventive approach. Nice job!

I very interesting concept and a stark contrast to the existing architecture of the current building. Sometimes these contrasts can produce striking (and sometimes controversial) results. Take a look at Soldier Field in Chicago.

A very novel idea!

Bubble diagrams are great in helping to evaluate needs, flow, etc. I appreciate the fact you went through the exercise. It shows you have a well thought through process. What did you learn from this? Summarizing your learning helps build support for the design decisions you make later in the project.

I really like that you have a strong point of view on a design concept. A great start to any project!

I really like this map. Nice job. Based on the information it conveys, the hallways don't seem overly crowded, except for a small stretch. If that's truly the case, is building up truly a necessity to minimize hallway traffic?

I agree with the above comments. Great job on the sun chart!

I also like the color coding of the buildings. Which building is the gymnasium? Which is the main building? Labels would help to clarify.

Using aerial photography is a great way to assess a building site and usability. Great job. I would suggest however calling out the elements in the photograph so there isn't any room for interpretation. When you say "building on right" or "building on left" in your descriptions, I'm not entirely sure which buildings you're referencing. The clearer you are in your communication, the better people will be able to understand your thinking.

My structure is inspired by a mushroom patch because of it's ability to adapt to it's conditions. This adaptability is reflected in my structures rotating roofs which specifically accommodate sunlight.
