Architectural Design, Level III: A Student Center for MIT, Fall 2004
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
This studio will investigate the social, physiological and phenomenological elements of a student gathering place on the MIT campus. Whether it is simply for socializing or for more specific events, the student gathering place will serve as a refuge from the vigorous educational environment of the Institute, and reinforce the sense of "play" through a sensible organization of the program. The place will foster a casual discovery of a sense of "being": a reflection upon the student's own existence based upon an intellectual attitude of acting and group events. To create a space that inspires, rather than imposes: such a discovery is the foremost challenge of this studio.
