A really beautiful rendering by two of the graduate students from @ricearch! Always very eager to share work from this talented university! ・・ Graduate students Carlos Inigo (@eric_inigo) and (@minhui.zh) Minhui Zhou’s final project from Will Cannady and Doug Oliver’s Totalization studio for a new aquatic center in Dumbo, New York is rooted in its context. It looks back into the historic building typology of Dumbo. The factory warehouses typologies became an influence for conceiving this project into a simple mass form. Re-activating what is now an empty parking lot is where Aquatic Dumbo will emerge. Also analyzing the neighborhood presented an opportunity to examine the interior organization and layout of the pools encouraging the public to go up and enjoy the public podium that Aquatic Dumbo offers. Here the public can enjoy the vistas to the inside Olympic pool, and congregate in groups. . . The structural and facade technologies employed in this project are essential components for reinforcing the aura of the project. Underneath the ephemeral and translucent facade hides a massive and impressive structural work of concrete. The channel glass was vital for making the facade translucent which creates intimacy for the athletes and simultaneously it provides an abundant source of natural light. Ultimately, Aquatic Dumbo aims to create an airy and exciting space for the US Women's Olympic athletes to practice and top their best performances. #ricearchitecture #riceuniversity #rajwf18 #architectureschool #architecturemodel #rendering #architecturaldrawing #soarch #architecture #totalization #archimodel https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVAKBPjqon/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e6gph554fso2
