Description
This project is a proposal for a recreational center to replace the existing Jesse Owens North gym located on Ohio State’s campus. In my project I organized the program around activities that either utilize the mind or the body. The programs divide the floors of the building into a sandwich. The program that utilizes the body is located in the “bun” of the building (first and third floor), while the mind spaces are located in the “meat” of the building (second floor). The circulation of the building is a ramp that borders the multi-floor rock wall. This ramp runs continuously from the bottom floor to the top floor. The windows are generated from Rhino’s representation of two doubly curved surfaces on top of one another.
