RENDERINGS
These renderings are of a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender community center that I designed as part of my senior project. The assignment was to design a building that would be of use to the community. Minneapolis is the only city of it's size in the U.S. without a GLBT center intended for the arts, theatre, and community involvement.
The basic premise was a self-enclosed campus, one that could be used in different ways by different members of the community. Four cube-like wings are elevated above street level, creating an atrium below and between the wings.
Each of the four wings serves different purpose. One is a two-story theatre, another has photography processing and artist space. Flexible gathering rooms could be used for everything from an AA meeting to a bridal shower.
Lightweight, semi-translucent panels are used on the exterior of the wings. This system [Panelite] allows light and shadow to pass through, eliminating the need for distracting windows. The entire main floor, meanwhile, is shrouded in glass curtain wall, allowing street activity and activity inside the atrium to be continuous.
