Intense field study and reconnaissance drawings develop and understanding of scale, intent, and presence of two works of Italian Renaissance architecture. The Tempietto is inserted into the cloister of Bramante in a drawing at the same scale, in order to discover connections within geometries. http://www.stevesanda.com/Space-Analysis-and-Layout http://www.stevesanda.com/following/stevesanda.com/Space-Analysis-and-Layout Mon, 24 May 2010 04:21:37 +0000 Steve Sanda 427296 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis4.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis5.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427296/thesis5_o.jpg" align="left" /> Automated space layout and analysis is a thesis project which investigates a software program that stores and analyzes architectural data and creates spatial layouts according to characteristics of user input. Techniques used for space layout will translate an analog process into a digital process which creates parallel results. An easy-to-use web interface simplifies the process for inputting data about rooms in a building (daylight, plumbing, public/private, square footage). The user must determine at what level the room selected must be adjacent to each of the other rooms by assigning a value (required, desired, not required, not desired). http://www.stevesanda.com/Chapel-in-the-Woods http://www.stevesanda.com/following/stevesanda.com/Chapel-in-the-Woods Mon, 24 May 2010 04:15:51 +0000 Steve Sanda 427288 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel4.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel4_o.jpg" align="left" /> A nondenominational chapel in a wooded site overlooks a small river. Predominantly used for private meditation, the chapel will also house ecumenical services. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel3.jpg" border="0" width="132" height="159" width_o="132" height_o="159" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel3_o.jpg" align="left" /> A long walking path adjacent to the chapel leads visitors to an elevated all-wood rectilinear tube supported by articulated beams. Abrupt darkness within the chapel is interrupted by light accepted through a narrow void in the roof plane. The void is echoed by a tall aperture above the altar which offers a slight but distant view out. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel6.jpg" border="0" width="510" height="64" width_o="510" height_o="64" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427288/chapel6_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.stevesanda.com/New-Media-Library-in-Boston http://www.stevesanda.com/following/stevesanda.com/New-Media-Library-in-Boston Mon, 24 May 2010 03:46:22 +0000 Steve Sanda 427267 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="376" width_o="670" height_o="376" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="376" width_o="670" height_o="376" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston2_o.jpg" align="left" /> The Boston New Media Library is a conduit for the public to access the vast expanses of knowledge available through various media. Here the dynamism of growing technology is accepted while the physical space required for human interaction is enhanced. The library contains both analog and digital media but has its foundation in the printed word. The library holds a small footprint on the dense urban site to emphasize the public plaza. The rectilinear shape carefully suggests views down Avery Street making a visual connection with the Boston Commons. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston3.jpg" border="0" width="586" height="108" width_o="586" height_o="108" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston3_o.jpg" align="left" /> The act of reading a book and interfacing with digital media are experienced in one space. Meandering through this composite space encourages active engagement which leads to discovery and learning. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston8.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston8_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston9.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston9_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston10.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston10_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston11.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="272" width_o="670" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427267/boston11_o.jpg" align="left" /> Structure and parti come together in three “stripes” which imply continuity of program and circulation. The central (orange) zone is the composite space of both the digital and analog collections. It is flanked on either side by reading areas and offices. A long “slow stair” is contained within the reading area; along this stair one experiences the section of the building, while the front facade of the building is activated by movement.

Columbus Dr, between the NBC Tower and the Chicago River. The Hotel is a destination for professionals and supports culture from around the city. Two tower forms of the Hotel in Chicago contain program elements of the guestroom and civic center, respectively. Their close but separated placement is connected by a transparent atrium filled with a scissor stair and program connectors/bridges. Translucent facade materials of colored polycarbonate and stainless steel mesh protect interior spaces from direct solar gain during the daytime. At night, illuminated interior spaces activate the façade by glowing through these materials. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427053/chicago7.jpg" border="0" width="337" height="179" width_o="337" height_o="179" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427053/chicago7_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427053/chicago8.jpg" border="0" width="262" height="172" width_o="262" height_o="172" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35511/427053/chicago8_o.jpg" align="left" /> Restaurant: The translucent entry atrium is shaded by bands of wood.
