This design workshop introduced students to Peter Zumthor’s nine elements of atmosphere and asked pupils to engage with an existing building through intensive teamwork diagramming, running digital simulations, and producing physical models. Initial precedent study work in this class was produced with Logan Stein and Maggie Pekarna.
Precedent
The spatial and psychological experience of Exit Architects’ Museo Semana Santa is studied and modeled in detail with teammates Maggie Pekarna and Logan Stein.
Transformation
Though tasked with transforming the atmospheric experience of the North Gallery, it was decided that the historic walls on the far edge of the building and the program of the museum space should be preserved.
