1.       Which building typology you are researching?
-         The building typology that I am researching for this design project would be an educational facility.
2.      Why are you researching this building typology?
-         The reason why I am researching this type of building is due to two reasons. One is that I have never designed a school before for an urban site and second it would expand my knowledge on education type building/construction.
3.      What is the specialty of this building type you would like to research i.e. museum for dance, school for digital media…

  2. I worked with Dean Hom on the FIT project. Dean Hom would be someone great to interview on this typology.

  3. Danny great examples all. I noticed a common thread to each of them with large amounts of natural lighting, higher ceilings, and interesting shapes and materials. Also the interaction of ground level areas with community and public spaces and access. Nice combinations of each with your selections.
