The Athenaeum Survey: Foundation and Site
During the Athenaeum Survey, I worked together with a partner to study the site and foundation of the Providence Athenaeum. The hand drawing below was a part of my contribution to the project.
Connecting Rooms: The Observatory
For this half of the term, the class was assigned a site–the parking lot behind Brown University's Rockefeller Library. Each student individually designed two connecting rooms, one of which had to be a bathroom. I joined an observatory and a bathroom, studying how structure might suggest changes in program; the observatory's curved facade lends itself to panoramic views in contrast to the angular geometry of the bathroom.
