Spring 2009

Studio with Clyde Carpenter

The focal point of the semester was Louis I. Kahn.  The first poster research projects allowed me to gather data and get a better understanding behind the works by Kahn.  Then we were given the task of developing a housing complex for the Salk Center Institute that was to house 24 to 30 researchers, and contain a pool and pavilion.  The units had to embody Kahn’s idea behind the overall Institute.  The terrain played a huge part in the design and development of the complex.  I designed 2 different units, which included 2 story and 3 story buildings.  We were given a list of items that we had to be included in the unit including kitchen, closets, bathrooms, and more.
