The adventures of a UNCC architecture studio exploring the contemporary American courthouse.

Category: Final Jury

The Jury is In

by JP Mays

This past Wednesday was our final review, and I think overall mine went well.  My design was generally received positively, though several good points were raised.  One thing I could have focused more on was the experience of the public throughout the building, including clarity of circulation and access.  Also, since my scheme was ten stories, a greater focus on the elevators would probably be more crucial than a monumental stair.  This was a very challenging semester, in a good way, and I was on the whole very pleased with my final design.  Below are some images from the final review.
