Architecture Class: Small Floating Theater

In this scenario Rafael gave us the idea of a small floating theater that we had to construct on paper and provide legitimate reasons for the actions we took. This scenario in particular was especially entertaining because it provided a problem that we had to answer, but it was no easy task. I care a lot about beauty when constructing any type of architecture on paper and I made sure to try and make this theater beautiful as well. This project was hard because the building needed to serve its basic function as a structure and theater, but I wanted it to be beautiful as well. When constructing something on a small scale, I find it harder to add beauty to it because one has a limited amount of resources and one must ensure that the form of the building follows its function as well. I had to think about the shape of the building, the floor design, windows, etc. I was forced to think in many different and creative ways to create the building I envisioned. This wasn't the easiest task for me to complete, but I enjoyed the exercise because it opened up a closed section of my mind.
