Professor Mohamed Sharif
Collaborated with Agatha Vance
With a focus on form, this studio equipped me with the ground plan of an ancient caravanserai that would host travellers along the Silk Road. From this, I developed a two-story structure to serve its original purpose. Carefully placing vaults, domes, and stairs allowed me to consider how circulation would work throughout the structure. Examining principles of compress/release allowed me to create a structure centered around its experience, while emphasizing form in the process.
