Structural Breadth

My structural breadth will be developed simultaneously with my Daylighting Depth. I propose to modify the roof slope of the vestibule atrium in order to improve the glazing and mullion pattern in place, as well as to ease the addition of skylight elements to the atrium’s roof. Because of these two major changes, I will perform a structural analysis of the existing hollow pipe structural system and make any necessary changes to the current structural system in order to accommodate for the impending daylighting and architectural changes to be implemented.

Acoustical Breadth

In performance venues, acoustics are of high relevance for the proper delivery of audio effects and verbal communication in productions. Therefore, it is my intent to evaluate the acoustics performance for the large movement studio —where performances are constantly held and acoustical clarity is essential. Once calculated, if deemed necessary, I will determine any necessary recommendations to improve the acoustics of the aforementioned space. Some of these suggested acoustical solutions might be integrated with the lighting systems and other architectural vocabulary, as to become a part of the current aesthetic rather than clash with it.
