Project 4: Portals

In this set of projects we examined portals as an architectural element and utilized it within designs guided by a culturally relevant figure. The first part of the project involved the creation of an analytique about Edward Murrow, using the same elements of layering and depth that are necessary in good design. Then we designed a portal inspired by our figures. Finally we designed a research center celebrating each of our figures. The site for the project was in College Park, MD, on Route 1.
