I've decided to take advice from one of my good friends and actually keep this project as a working progress. Basically, everything we do for this project will be posted rather than just the final process. This way, everyone can see how ideas develop and work progresses.
As the final project of the semester, this exercise provides the opportunity for the class to demonstrate what we've learned throughout this course as well as continue to explore new issues. Specifically, proportioning systems, scale, and principles will be investigated as new issues. We will also be working with an architectural program, a physical site, and a given conceptual beginning.
The project is the design of C-Street Sushi and Art Gallery on the west end of Commercial Street in Springfield, MO. this facility is intended to be used by Drury University local residence, as well as a gathering place to socialize over artwork and the eating of sushi. It is to incorporate spaces for indoor and outdoor tables as well as a small gallery that can also serve as a gathering area used for receptions or critiques. A small kitchen, some storage, and a serving counter support the facility. Most importantly, a strong connection between the adjacent buildings and Commercial Street is crucial.
As a conceptual starting point, we are to refer to Zhuangzi's writing of Zhuangzi Dreamed he was a Butterfly, in particular, studying the concepts of transformation, enlightenment, and awakening.
