Film-making Office Building - Fourth Year Undergraduate

Shreveport is a great location to implement a greenway project to improve the existing communication route of green spaces, and to provide easy access to green areas within walking distance.

The solar path, the green axes and the view towards the river are the forces that affected the form of the building. These forces allowed sustainable design in order to reduce the Heat Island Effect. The building has roof/balcony gardens for rainfall storing; furthermore, it maximizes the north sunlight and natural ventilation inside the building.

The main forces driving this project are the two green garden axes that meet on the site. This creates a public outdoor and double height space that links the public green spaces. Furthermore, the building cantilevers out. shielding the outdoor space which allows circulation through the pedestrian green axes that merges the community.

Community film-making requires producing films with, for and about people of all backgrounds. This encourages the interaction with film-lovers/producers and artists. Moreover, there is a vertical venue where the public can go throughout the building reaching the amphitheater at the top. This creates a movement of people interacting in the space making everyone part of the spectacle of filmmaking.
