this quarter for studio will entail one project for the whole ten weeks. our site is located on the southeast corner of G street and 8th street in downtown San Diego. right now the program has not been completely finalized but we are told it will be an affordable/student housing tower that will range somewhere from 15-20 stories tall. a big component to this project will be the incorporation of a well designed building that has functional mechanical systems, both passive and active.
im really excited about this project because of a few main reasons: 1) the constraints of a downtown site will allow me to get creative with the building's form/function, 2) I will learn codes and other restrictions to actual development of a building project, and 3) I will learn how to properly design mechanical systems. incorporating all of these aspects into my design is going to give me a greater understanding of the actual processes that are required in a building project.
