Precedent Study

Project Overview

Tasked with analyzing two buildings of distinct programs—one focused on community and the other on archival spaces. Using only photographs and plan views, I developed 3D models in Rhino to generate section isometrics, allowing for deeper insight into their spatial organization and design. The selected works were Maggie's Oldham by dRMM Architects in the UK, a community-focused healthcare center, and the Fondazione Luigi Rovati addition and renovation in Milan by Mario Cucinella Architects, which houses an archival collection. These studies helped me understand the structural and spatial qualities of each project in relation to their functions, exploring how architecture can serve both community gathering and contemplative archival purposes.
