Our assignment this week was to select several precedents to examine related to our project. Since I have narrowed my focus to either the School of Freshwater Sciences or an Industrial Design School and Workshop, obviously, both are higher acedemic structures, so that is where I began.
I found two excellent work by Sir Norman Foster, both uniersity buildings in the UK. I also found an unusual project called the Sami Parliament in Norway, which I really love the wood glue-lam interior spaces and the connection elements. Since it is more design related, rather than program, Prof. Krause wisely suggested I put it on the shelf and revisit it in the spring during the design phase.
