First Floor Plan



This is the latest revision of my first floor plan. Student display work area should now be able to receive diffuse lights, from the opening created on the 2nd floor. This opening is controlled and lights small poche' area for students to seat and to read.

There are 2 main entrances, one for students(private), the other for guest(public).

The students can enter directly to lobby/info center area, located on the far left. While the public can use the entrance in the exhibition area.

These two entrances are connected by the cafetaria, where the place are open for everyone to purchase food. The north side of the buildings there are 3 classrooms facing the west side of the building with windows opening towards to the north to receive natural lights.
I hope this make sense, if not feel free to ask questions.

Felix, your plan is much further developed. I don’t quite understand the two entrances, I can only see one. As much as there seems to be more clarity in your design and layout, I have a few fundamental questions for you: there is a simple play with numbers that I don’t see happening yet. You have a three block building with two breaks. The three blocks get increasingly deeper, but have a right angle front and a diagonal back. The program has three class rooms. And the class rooms are central to the program. Why is there not a direct relationship between the three blocks and the three class rooms? There are two openings between the blocks. There are two entrances. Why don’t they occur in the openings? There are three stairs in the building at the south façade (the one to the west should be where you are showing the elevator to avoid a dead-end situation). Why don’t they all have the same relationship to the exterior?
