MUSEUM PROJECT
This project was
related to the
previous project and
called for group
work. With the
groups being same
as last time. I was
again group leader.
This was a very
interesting project in
that we had to
incorporate 3
different precedents
into one flowing
layout. Our three
precedents flowed
together very nicely
and were very
workable. We were
able to use many
different elements in
our museum design
sequence. All in all I
feel our group came
up with a solid design
that established a
clear circulatory path
through well defined
spaces.
