Abstract:
The following book is submitted as required for completion of work in the undergraduatethesis program.The work began with selecting a project that would make for an interesting and worth-while product. Because of my interest in the City of Lafayette, I chose a project with a cultural group in that city, the Lafayette Art Association. The Art Association was chosen because of their present attempts to expand or relocate their facility; and because of the encouragement and positive attitude of the Association.This work though does not deal with only a product. It is also a process intergral with the product. The first steps were to meet with representatives of the Art Association to formulate a program. Once this was completed a process of analyzing and re-evaluating was conducted. From this precept, concepts were developed which led to the final design.
