Abstract:
I have decided to continue the development of my capstone architecture design project for my ARCH 401 studio course. Located on the northern edge of downtown and the southern shore of Lake Union, the school serves as a link between the city and the residential area surrounding Lake Union as a place for education in school and the natural environment. With a modern feel influenced by the city and a more environmentally aware feel influenced by the park just north of the site. Mercer Elementary School serves to teach students that school can be in an exciting and educational environment while still being safe and secure. I have completed the model to better represent my design in an interactive three-dimensional form. as well as develop certain design aspects regarding the environment, the context and the interactive and learning capabilities the building has to offer to the students and those who use the building on a regular basis
