Honorable Mention - Top 10 Finalist - Christian Orme - Redesign Your School Athletic Pavilion | 2014 National High School Architecture Competition #147: Recent activity

I've always been a huge fan of geometric based architecture. Thanks for noticing!

Very thorough research on sustainable design elements to integrate into your facility. When considering LEED or sustainable design, think about the site and micro-climate because some types of glass are not effective in certain climate zones as well as other materials and systems. It is good to consider sustainable design such as the green roof, native plants, drainage and irrigation, and glazing but LEED is just a certification program. All designers should consider sustainable design in their buildings but you are not required to use LEED. It is just a program to follow. I really like your ambition to create an efficient building. You definitely created great drawings and renderings to execute your design. One thought, is to create diagrams in collect info and brainstorm ideas about your site. Interpret the sustainable design features you want to incorporate into your building on how it works, such as the green roof helps with the energy load: create a diagram on how the heat and cool air flow into your building through section. An overall plan of your design would be great in understanding how it all fits together. Nice work on thinking about the program, materials, scale, proportions, and views.

It is a well developed 3d model with great details. A slight future improvement would be materials application, so that the renderings convey the actual design.

Nice juxtaposition between the two facades

It is good that you incorporated the climate factors – sun direction in this case – in the façade design. For future projects ideas, you could also incorporate built-in shading glass system or simply plant trees in front of the south facing facade to block the summer sun.

It is great that you addressed the importance of having a "sense of ownership" when designing this new facility. Once this mentality is developed, it will be beneficial for the students/faculties, the school and the community.

Very Nice! You can also use Trespa type panels to achieve a look similar to this. That would probably detailed as a (well ventilated) rain screen. This is an option that you might want to explore in the future for projects. Your patterning demonstrates a strong talent for proportion.

It looks like you are well on your way to being very good at 3d modeling. As you become more comfortable with it, you have probably realized that it becomes a powerful tool during the design process. Unfortunately it has to become easy for a person to use for you before the creative half of your brain can be activated. It looks like you have made it to that breakthrough. Have fun with it.

This is a very good idea. Rooftops are such severe climates that an irrigation system would probably be required in your region. I used to work in a severe climate such as yours and I tried to create shade structures to ameliorate the effect of the sun in summer. It seems like you could perhaps provide a rooftop area for the students to use. This might be a bit of a far fetched idea for a high school though.
