Abstract:
This thesis is a hypothetical project for the Herron School of Art in Indianapolis. The project relocates the school from its present facilities at Pennsylvania and sixteenth street to the Indiana University, Purdue University Main Campus. The new location is based on I.U.P.U.I master plans.The new facility consists of 97,000 square feet of space including faculty offices, classrooms, library, gallery and, studios. The new building, is integrated into the campus and respects the existing second-level walkway system which serves adjacent buildings. The design of the new Herron School of Art also incorporates energy conserving devices such as earth berming and supplemental solar heating.This book is arranged in a chronological order of the projects development. Its intent is to illustrate the reasoning behind the design development as well as show the evolution that lead to the final design solution.
