Advanced Representation

Advanced Representation was a short summer studio structured around entering into a competition, taught by Chris Grimley. I worked in a team with Tom Neal and Tim Valich throughout the entire project. This studio was both an introduction to competitions and to more advanced architecture programs. By entering a competition, we were able to engage a part of architecture outside of the academic world and learn the process of design through alternate means. The MarketValue Competition investigated possible alternatives for an underdeveloped site in Charlottesville, VA. The program called for market vale housing, civic space, and a space for a farmer’s market. By look at each typologically then reinserting them back into the site, we were able to create a project that worked in a short amount of time.
