Intro | Student Projects

Images of the 2009 student projects from ARS 285, studio: Introduction to Architecture: Language and Craft, taught by Jim Middlebrook.

Each student started by choosing one flower from the Botanic Garden. She photographed this flower and analyzed its spatial character in terms of certain organizational principles. The student then built a model to abstractly re-present the flower according to this visual "language." These forms were appropriated by the student in the design of a hypothetical pavilion that would be used to display flowers next to Paradise Pond.
