Select a campus building and re-design the structure and cladding (enclosure system) from the point of view of tectonic expression.

Document the existing condition with photographs or perspective sketches.

Re-Design the building by proposing a new structure and enclosure system. Your new design should represent the "expressive refinement of a functionally-adequate form."

Format: 11" x 17" sheets, horizontal (or 8-1/2" x 11" sheets, vertical). Include project title, your name, ARCH 463, building data including location and architect.

A. photo or perspective sketch of existing building; B. perspective of re-designed building; C-D. other detailed drawings such as axonometric of typical frame or "bay," and connection detail(s); E-F. additional sheets if needed.

Notes:

1. Try to maintain the existing functional and massing relationships of the existing building. In other words, just look at the structure, cladding, or other "tectonically-sensitive" elements.
   
2. It is not necessary to produce plans, sections and elevations. Only 3-dimensional views (perspective, axonometric) are required.
   
3. It is not necessary to do detailed calculations for the new proposed structure. Use precedents, or "rules of thumb" to estimate sizes and shapes. In some cases, the structural analysis computer software may be useful to find idealized moment or axial force diagrams.
   
4. You may either "refine" the existing structural system, or develop a new structural idea (as long as it is consistent with the existing structural or planning module of the building).
