Introducing ISLAND 2000

Jonathan Wong Michael Hughes Renee Elsdon Jonghoon Kim Group Presentation March 10, 2000

ISLAND 2000 Project Overview : Design a new engineering center to replace an existing 3 story building at Island University, Florida.

ISLAND 2000 Project Overview : One building has a square footprint and one has an L- shaped footprint.

ISLAND 2000 Project Overview : Requirement: The palm tree grove must be preserved, and some internal spaces must have views to the grove.

ISLAND 2000 Project Overview : Requirement: Interior organization is based upon the affinity table.

THE PROCESS architect Aesthetics

A local site was selected to authenticate the project and aid in the architectural design process A local site was selected

That had a sandy, semi-populated beach And offered a sense of serenity

San Francisco Bay

ANGEL ISLAND

Quarry Beach

ISLAND 2000 Q ualities of the site: Strong visual attraction to specific points on the horizon

Tilden Park/Berkeley Treasure Island/ Bay Bridge Chevron/ San Rafael Bridge ISLAND 2000 Q ualities of the site:

Nature of cove and hill forms gives the site a strong directional quality ISLAND 2000 Q ualities of the site:

ISLAND 2000 Cove form: radial directional quality ISLAND 2000 Q ualities of the site:

Hill Form: Sloping directional quality Beach/Bay Form: endless horizontal directional quality ISLAND 2000

Sense of seclusion; other campus buildings are located out of sight Q ualities of the site:

A-E-C Discussions Will a glass wall hold up in a hurricane? Glass wall is expensive. Cloth roof will not allow MEP system to be located in roof, as typically done. Are wooden columns available in 2’ diameter?
