Precedent Conclusion

Over the past few weeks, all of us in the precedent group have researched one particular building and found things in each that might be helpful in designing the Lee Street Studios.

In Crown Hall, I have found some things that might be good to incorporate into our design:
-Open studio spaces, both vertical and horizontal
-Flexible use space, movable partition walls
-Division of classrooms, offices, workshops by floors
-Making the School of Architecture stand as a focal point for the campus
-Exposed exterior structure to keep interior space open
-Varying transparencies of floor to ceiling windows
-Central public gallery space
-Centralization of mechanical and plumbing areas

Other things we saw across the board in our group:
-large gathering spaces
-auditorium
-roof terraces and green space around building
-multi-level studios
-dining hall/cafeteria
-easy circulation through building
-open areas/multi-use spaces
