ARCH 406

TEAM PROJECT: OUR DESIGN WAS FIRST INFLUENCED BY THE STUDY OF THE SOLAR AND WIND PATTERNS THAT
OCCURED ON THE SITE. WITH WANTING TO BLOCK HOT SUN AND DETURING STRONG WINDS, WE DESIGNED

OUR BUILDING AT AN ANGLE. THIS ANGLE NOT ONLY PROVIDES THE SHADE AND PERFECT AMOUNT OF WIND

FLOW FOR

HOT CLIMATES, BUT ALSO HAS CREATED THE PERFECT AREA TO LOOK OVER THE MILITARY WALK AND THE REST
OF CAMPUS.WE WERE INSPIRED BY THE SAULK INSTITUTE FOR ITS JUTTING SHAPES TO ALLOW FOR SHADE, BUT

WITH A UNIQUE DESIGN. THE SLOPED ROOF GIVES THE MAXIMUM AMOUT OF SHADE TO THE NORTH AND

REATES A SPACE ON THE SECOND FLOOR FOR THE VISITORS TO INTERACT WITH CAMPUS. THE FIRST FLOOR
CONTAINS, ONE SIDE, FUTURE STUDENTS AND THE OTHER THE DEANS OFFICE. THIS WAS DONE FOR EASY

ACCESS FOR THE PUBLIC. ON THE SECOND FLOOR, YOU WILL FIND THE ACADEMIC ADVISING CENTER WHICH IS

A MORE PERSONAL SPACE FOR STUDENTS. THE CIRCULATION WAS DESIGNED WITH THE THOUGHT OF EASY
