Fall 2021 | Alexander Hirsig
This quarter as we transition back into in-person studio, I also transitioned back into being an architecture student after a 2-quarter break.
Our project is located in Lompoc, California near the space launch sites, serving as an interpretive center for space exploration as well as providing guest accommodation for 40 people. In my initial gestural model I explored the concept of adventure in visitor experience by providing multiple circulation paths and nooks and crannies to wander into.
My favorite part about this quarter is delving more into my interest in architectural animation using twin-motion software.
