Redesign Your School Athletic Pavilion | 2014 Newhouse Architecture Competition #20148028
|My athletic pavilion will contain the highest quality of equipment for all types of exercise and provide the proper environment to maximize everyone's excising experience. This pavilion will have an attractive exterior look and interior organization that will make it stand out in the community and motivate people to come in and exercise. It will also contain many multi-purpose spaces to maximize the buildings efficiency and to get as many sports and exercises as involved as possible. This pavilion needs to be constructed because Curies current athletics fields and courts are very run down, out dated, and in need of renovations. Curie has also been kind of an eye sore in the community because of its plain and unattractive exterior design. By attaching this new and attractive pavilion to the back of the current structure, Curie would become a land mark in the community and also contribute to reducing crime in the city neighbor hood by providing a place where the young people can go and spend their time exercising rather than being on the streets.
Comments
-Good job addressing the full building program
-Renderings look great, but not all are of important spaces.(show public spaces like the entry instead of the locker rooms.)
-final plan drawings would be useful
Great research! Pictures of existing conditions, site plan, current building plans, and precedent studies of like building types are all great information to have when starting the design process. The bubble diagrams you showed are a great way to show your ideas of program adjacency and will help in laying out the overall floor plans. Good readings, but an overall floor plan would have really helped to sell your idea.
I really liked this project and you clearly put in the time and effort to do a great job. Great use of Revit and your background information and research shows where your design is coming from.
I think on your renderings you need to show the scale a little more. Adding a person into the rendering will easily accomplish this and will give us a much better idea of the space. I would like to see more explanation as to "why" you made certain design choices. For example:why is one space by another? Why does the school need this type of facility? Etc...
