Program Concept

Following the conceptual idea to fragment the institution into two buildings, the program reflects this split and has also been separated. Originally conceived as four components (Promotional, Educational, Community and Social), I further organized these spaces into two groups: the spaces that help the profession internally and those that work to help it externally. The introverted spaces consist of the community and social spaces, helping the profession adopt a more community-responsible role where as the extroverted spaces are made up of the educational and promotional spaces, the program designed to celebrate and encourage the practice of architecture. Both programs are described in detail on the following pages.
