Research Diary

An architectural research would require background study of the architect, her design principles, the focus on concepts of the project and the after effects of the construction. It involves the current use of the building, the experience of users inside and around the project and its impact on the community.

Architect Jeanne Gang, founder of Studio Gang

For this research, it is important to study the following:

• The theory of transparency between exterior and interior spaces.

• The interactive designs of facades and its impacts on the project.

• Impact of interior design on exterior environment along with the activities within the project influencing the social, political and economic events of the community. 

• The awards and recognition for the project

• The detailing of design explained by Studio gang, including the video of construction.

• Talk about the conceptual aspects explained by studio gang and its relation to other projects as a reference of her design principles.

Since this project is an example of modern architecture with the focus on creating an interactive space, it would be interesting to study about the interior spaces enhancing the users experience.
