Site Plan

Project: To design a pavillion with underlying concepts taken from architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies Van Der Rohe, and Le Corbusier. The emphasis was how the pavillion responded to a conceptual site and possible views. There is a varied interpretation of each architect; Mies’s “less is more”, Corbusier’s use of ramps and movement, and Wright’s incorporation into the site and an openess to the outside.
