Campus Recreation Center
University of Cincinnati, USA
Why the building was chosen as an exemplar section relevant to my solution to the HSW:
Why the building was chosen (relevance)- The New Recreation Center is another multi purpose facility with a strong program centered around students. With a sports complex , reading room, covered refreshment areas, canteen, dormitories and student accomidation. While my building did not deal with the overnight housing of students it shared many common programs with the Recreation Center. The Recreation Centre forms a crossroad, connecting the surrounding buildings, serving as a focal point and epitomizing the university experience. One way it was acheived was through the variety of form and function and our interpretation of it.
Drawing techniques (how the buildings work and key apects)- The drawings clearly show the structural elements, the connection between floors, materials and the use of the spaces. The thickness of the floors, roof and walls are clearly shown to illustrate the structural systems and the acoustic and sensual feel of the spaces. The materials, the concrete, screens and glass are clearly shown in the y-y section and increase the understanding of how the structure, external skin and spaces intergrate together.
What i hope to encoropate into my redrawn section- The clear illustration of materials and the use of the spaces in relation to the key apects of the building
