ENDS 405 – Design Studio V
Instructor: Michael O’Brien Texas A&M College of Architecture
Project: Culture center in downtown Bryan containing a special collections donated by residents, an open air building with coffee shops and reading areas, and an auditorium for special speakers and lectures.
Program: The two buildings hold different purposes, so their appearance reflects what they are. The library is more open to the outside, to encourage more daytime activity. The auditorium, on the other hand is more enclosed to reduce any outside distractions, and maintain focus on the speaker. The Special Collections, for security and preservation of the materials, are located underground, and it connects the two buildings together.
