Synthetic Map

The city-scale analysis of Charleston, SC was divided up in two parts. Working individually, I used historic and current maps to analyze the city, creating a synthetic map showing three layers of information. Then, working as pairs, we translated this informa-tion into a 3-D model.

A Traveler’s DwellingARC 202 | Maria Papiez | Spring 2012

Site Section Section A-A Section B-B Section C-C

The dwelling for a traveler is designed for a single businessman who spends most of his time away from home. When he does return home, he enjoys quiet, reflective time. The design for the dwelling reflects his lifestyle by having a relatively closed off front façade and having views that open to the backyard. The dwelling also includes a living space that the traveler can use to entertain his guests and display cultural souvenirs from his travels.

The North Carolina Museum of Art Visitor Center, located at the entrance of the sculpture park, is intended to be a connection from nearby Blue Ridge Road to the sculpture park and greenway. The Visitor Center is also designed to show-case sustainable building features. The gallery space is lit by natural light with-out letting in direct sunlight, which led to a unique roofing system in the gallery. Other sustainable features include an interactive green wall and sunshades on south facing windows.
