An architectural vernacular and the design of college park airport museum

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

I will show that architecture can evolve through a design process that relies on a systematic approach rather than an episodic one. I have created a design for an airport museum through the use of an architectural vernacular. The use of this language helps to eliminate random forms and serendipity. Through the use of this vernacular I will be able to rationalize, validate and justify my design.
