Water Education Center Massing Design / ARCH 3011 Spring 2025

Year: 2025

Category: Sketches & Renders

Skills: Illustrator, SketchUp, AutoCAD

This exercise began the initial building development for the semester-long project; the water education center. My developments here included three different massings shown in perspective, elevation, and section. The entire building is logically driven by a grid system with influence from the golden ratio.

Final Submission

Here we see the three concept massings alongside a floor plan.

Massing 1 Perspective

This massing focuses on the placement of the columns using the perfect ratio rule. This prevents column placement in the corners.

Massing 2 Perspective

This massing focuses on a slight overhang and an increase in columns, allowing for corner placement.

Massing 3 Perspective

This massing dramatically increases the overhang which generates an outdoor space.
