Site of manufacturing site that was later converted into an
autobody shop. Currently its unoccupied and the interior is relatively clear,
with the main hoist and gantry removed. Images rotate from plan Isometric to
Plan rendering, Front Elevation image followed by a rendering. The rest are in
order from left, back, and right elevations. The primary building is connected
to two other buildings, which are not part of this project, thus they are
blank.
These rendering showcase the electrical, heating, and structural
support of the building and it’s many fenestrations. Rotating from a front
section, to left, back, and right sections. Close up perspective view in 50mm
setting to revela the details in the interor renderings.
This knolled diagram outlines the predominant contents of the original building. Which are the variety of trusses, Natural gas powered heaters, shoplights, and CMU Walls.
The linked diagrams showcase ways that plants and media production equiment similarities and disimilarities.
These GIFs outline the compnents and sugestive uses and arangements that could be used for a varietty of purposes. Focusing in on equity and utilizing protean architectual concepts such as adpative reuse, open spaces, standardaization, redundancy, resiliance, biomimicry, and several enviromental considerations. The Primary design element lies in the curtain rail system that hangs from the ceiling to enable a large variety of configurations. The same grid and diagnonal compinents are reflected on the entry doors and overhangs at the front entrance.
The two small components chosen were plants and media production equipment. Usitilizing plant walls to divide up larger spaces in amodular fasion enables a variety of use cases. Expanding plants into the design, the curtains are made from plant materials like a cellulose or carbon and organing fibers that act as sound dampeners inbetween spaces for use. Of the many uses of backdrops, one interesting use is that of a immersive space which is reperesented by the concave back drops.
