Alright, I have a request of the Archinect community out there. I was recently assigned a small case study for my professional practice course and was hoping one of the many architects out there could help me out.
The case study involves examining a "project from a practice/service/process perspective (not necessarily a design perspective)". The meat of the case study is an interview with the designer responsible for the project which is supplemented with other published sources (journals, books, web sites, etc.).
One of the requirements is that it cannot be a project on which I have worked during internship. So sure I can contact either of the two firms I've worked for and choose a project I didn't help with, but I'm quite familiar with most of their work, so I'm hoping to broaden my perspective.
So if you have an interesting project that you wouldn't mind sharing with me (and eventually the BSU School of Architecture, at large) than please contact me, either in the comments or through an email. The interview is six (6) questions and looks at issues of coordination, communication, problems encountered, and project success (or lack thereof).
I know there are a lot of great architects and projects out there, so I look forward to hearing from some of you. Thank you in advance.
rather than throw a dart in the interwebs, you could use this as an opportunity to meet an office in your city, especially helpful if it's an office that perhaps you might like to work for in the future.....just tossing it out there.
look for ways to open the doors.
I like the suggestion but that's part of the problem. There's not much good architecture going on locally in Muncie, IN. The projects worth studying are campus buildings and they weren't done by local architects. The local firms are your run of the mill efficiency experts, and that doesn't lead to a particularly interesting case study.
I was just checking to see if there was anybody out there interested in sharing an interesting project they helped design. I'm supposed to know what project I want to study by Tuesday (I was assigned this Thursday afternoon) so that doesn't give me much time to "shop around" and "haul myself" to Indy. Maybe I thought too much of this architectural community by asking for a small request.

Why not haul yourself to Indianapolis? It's a big world out there. Go get it.
