Design Challenge Background
The challenge is to redesign your high school’s athletic facilities into an athletic pavillion. With national organizations emphasizing the importance of regular phyical activity to combat obesity, these spaces are more important (and used!) than ever. They are becoming communty spaces and spaces for connecting, cheering, and improving lifestyles.
Design Challenge Brief
You may redesign the interior of the existing athletic facilities, expand on the existing spaces, or design a completely new addition on to your school building. Your design should contain all the spaces and functions required for typical school athletic facilities – locker rooms, athletic equipment storage rooms, concession stands, trophy cases, water fountains, offices for athletics staff, bathrooms, exercise and weight rooms, and, of course, gym spaces. The redesigned pavillion should include ideas for both old and new ideas for athletic facilities. You should also consider sustainability issues and the environmental impact of your design.
For your Overview, it is important to post a short, but clear, ‘success statement’ that communicates the goals you hope to solve and achieve through your design solutions. When you’re nearly finished with your design project, you can go back to this success statement to see if your design has met the criteria you first proposed.
Comments
this is nice, i like the way this looks, keep it going
-Great bubble diagrams of program relationships
-Very thorough research and presentation of it
-Building plans are clean and straight forward
-I really like the building massing and elevations, but largely because it is a strange "under-designed" thing
Your bubble diagrams are great! You clearly showed things that you liked / disliked about the current building arrangement - and also created your own organizational solution that hoped to make a more inviting and centralized public connective space with the smaller programmatic elements surrounding it. However, these organizational techniques do not seems to translate into your final design, where you show a single narrow corridor with rooms on each side. I hoped to see a large central space with glass skylight that functioned as lobby and transition space from one room to another. Great ideas - next time take those ideas and follow them all the way through!
