Generic Courthouse Pun
by caroothers
The final review went well. I was struggling this semester with the connection between my site analysis and my building’s final form. I focused on ‘projection’, as it is the basis of a shadow, and the location of the site in relation to Uptown Charlotte district. The building form took a form of projecting toward the city and the new Bryan Park district, bringing the two neighborhoods together in a public forum of law and order. I still believe that I can move on with this project and develop a few areas a little bit further. I have always understood final pin-ups as a stopping point, more than a finished product, as there are always places for improvement. I got a lot out of this semester, and I felt that I worked outside my comfort zone with a more sculptural approach to the overall design. The final outcome was what I expected, and I think that it is a wonderful solution to the courthouse. Something that stands for the morals and bedrock of our society and can still remain open and accessible.
