"PROVIDNO" Final Junior Project / ARCH 3011 Spring 2025 / 3 of 3
Year: 2025
Category: Educational Architecture
Skills: Photoshop, SketchUp, Illustrator, V-Ray, AutoCAD, Model-Making, Presentation
This was a semester long project for ARCH 3011. We were tasked with designing a water education center on the Hudson River, Pier 66, in New York City. The idea for my building came from the golden section rectangle, and I was heavily inspired from buildings done by Mies Van Der Rohe. Everything was planned using a grid system which ensures a solid structure and consistent design language. The following is my proposed building. The use of glass respects the views of the Hudson River. The use of steel and concrete makes it suitable for harsh waterfront environments. This material can be sourced locally due to the industrial area nearby. The materials used for my building reflect the maritime and infrastructural history of the NYC waterfront.
