Site design for the Indiana Academy for the Sciences, Mathematics, and Humanities

Abstract

The site for the Indiana Academy for the Sciences, Mathematics, and Humanities presents an excellent opportunity for in-depth study of an actual site. Historical research into residential education and campus design provided clues to the successful resolving of perceived problems.Analysis of the site and personal interviews with students of the Academy and with all involved staff gave me insight as to how to develop a program which fit the needs of all involved while combining and bartering requests. The program relies heavily on specific site data and is, therefore, suited to the needs of the Academy.The final solution is a mixture of grandeur historical allusion integrated with a functionality that serves as it beautifies.
