  1. Hi, my name's Aaron of Alaska.
  2. In my case it was Virginia Avenue Park located in santa Monica.
  3. My case study as a result was not a single building as the name states,
  4. it is indeed a park.
  5. The architect Eisenberg has worked with the community
  6. of santa Monica for some time now.
  7. His main goal was to bring the community together.
  8. The reason which we had many buildings silica
  9. was because the building was invited into resources
  10. as you could see in the picture is the park center and it was a single building.
  11. The building following this one was a youth center.
  12. Even though the buildings were located in different locations,
  13. they were able to access them easily.
  14. The Beagle Library was a project of its own. However, the building
  15. brought a different aspects to aspect to the case.
  16. The inside of the building had different and funny
  17. ceiling shapes even though it was its own project.
  18. It connected
  19. connected to the other centers and a
  20. lot of community to come together through reading
  21. as we walked around the park.
  22. One of the main things we noticed was that it
  23. continually short stairs and ramps to access the building's.
  24. However, the ground
  25. was uneven, which made the buildings like
  26. Love stated as well.
  27. Most of the buildings had a very creative style of ceiling and most
  28. of them were in a wavy texture because it is a park.
  29. The building had its own sections that was accessible to
  30. the public but it did not interfere with the playground area
  31. as we begin to study about tectonic.
  32. This was one of the pieces that came into our heads as we learned more about them.
  33. Since this piece became an eye grabber as we walked through the park,
  34. this section connects the youth center to the PICO library and the color
  35. made the section pop out and noticed that the solar panels are
  36. arranged as such to receive the light and to create shade.
  37. The glass was one of our few list
  38. few lessons and the case city contained a lot of glass elements.
  39. The glass gave the site another feeling as to whether it were to be fully close.
  40. The study of elevation became clear, putting the elevation
  41. and a physical building side by side
  42. by the use of the trees and the cars.
  43. As in the picture,
  44. the scale of the buildings were easier to determine through a photo.
  45. Lastly, our case study
  46. did have many strong and weak boundaries. However, there was
  47. more strong boundaries
  48. in this location
  49. that was guided through either plants or concrete spaces
