CREDITS: 1.00 LUCourse Description The course examines two
interior design projects: the Banq Restaurant in Boston and
Georgia Tech’s Hinman Research Building. Both are located within
existing structures and have been designed to have a high visual
impact. The text explains the background to the design decisions
and the motivations that underpin its concept. The text is
accompanied by images, technical drawings and construction
details showing the materials and technologies used. Learning
Objectives – after reading the article and studying the
drawings, you will be able to: - Examine the cultural premises
and causes that have contributed to architectural theory taking
its present form. - Discuss how two apparently very different
projects were the work of the same designer. - Analyze the
creative process and implementation strategies. - Describe the
reuse of existing structures and spaces to accommodate new
functions.
