Goals for our Building Form

Our group decided to set some goals for our building and some guidelines for how we imagine its form to help us get started in collaborating as a team.

1. Iconic building for Greensboro and UNCG
2. Support a sustainable environment
3. Create a gestural movement for commuters driving by and pedestrians on the site
4. On-site park/ public art area that connects to the building
5. Innovative, non-traditional use of materials
6. Walkways/terraces that lead you outdoors, throughout the building
7. Juxtaposition of curves and linear form (representing where greensboro was and where it is going)
8. Consideration for day-lighting and night-lighting
9. Playing with solids and voids
10. Creating a landmark
