The integrated project that was developed from the Schematic Design phase to Design Development phase in a group of five for GSAPP Architecture Tech course over a 12-week period. Having adequate experience with Revit, I take part in developing Revit and Rhino models, orthographic drawings, building envelope detail, and design.

To create community engagement and space for play, the new Public School 64 mass-timber building contains an elevated courtyard that connects to the adjacent street via publicly accessible stairs. At the same time, the central void provides a pleasant learning experience by bringing sufficient daylight and natural ventilation into classrooms. 

The building integrates two envelope strategies in contrast to establish the dynamic transition from the street to the courtyard. Facing the street is a mixture of louver curtain walls with a brick rain-screen system. Facing the courtyard is a more colorful curtain wall system.
