Nov. 2nd Assignment
Building:From the buildings we have viewed including today's Grant Building. I believe that the Grant Building will best fulfill my needs; however, I am still interested in seeing the inside of the Kress building. I would like to see how tall the first floor is and how many columns there are. This will help me in deciding for sure which building I will use. The ceiling height of the first floor is important due to screen size, and so is the number of columns and spacing of them. I do not want to block views to the screen with a colum.
Graphics:
I wanted to keep my page layout very simple for the book, as I do not want to take away attention from the actual information in the book. I chose a font that reflects the Art Deco style to help tie in my idea of the art deco styled facade.
Preliminary Proposal:
Client: Mr. Johnson is from Baton Rouge and has always loved the movies. He was born and raised in Baton Rouge, and has always wanted to see a revitalization of downtown Baton Rouge.
Spatial Type:
I plan to create a single screen movie theater. When Mr. David Rhorer spoke to our class about Downtown Development District he spoke of one day having a theater there. After some thought I decided I was going to do just that. So far in my college career we haven't designed restaurants or theaters and I thought it would be a fun and exciting challenge for me to explore. Also, lately I have been finding myself not wanting to go to the normal theaters because of crowds and the abundance of teenagers, and I am looking to create a small and quite theater for adults.
Focus:
I have been thinking about doing lighting and historical preservation as my focuses. I really would like to pursue lighting because I feel like I haven't fully grasped it yet, and I would like to work on my skills. I also think lighting can be a very fun way of making a space create a mood or emotion. I also would like to do historical preservation because this is an area too that interests me and I would like to have the opportunity to learn more about it, and also since the buildings we are working with have a unique history I would like to incorporate that into the project.
Building:
W.T. Grant Building. Located on Third Street between Florida and Laurel. I believe this building is suitable for my project because of the size of the building, location, and the height of the first floor. I also like the large glass windows in the front. These could be great for signage! Also, the rear entrance would be great for getting supplies into the building without having to go through the main entrance.
Scope of the Project:
I plan to create complete floor plans for the building with elevations of each wall. I plan on making a viz fly through of the space so that viewers can better understand the building. I also plan on creating reflected ceiling plans for all floors and choosing all the furnishes and finishes for the building.
