As outlined this past Thursday, students are required to create a small architectural space with spiritual overtones and a modest, flexible program in the arid condition. This is to ensure Ryerson Architectural Science students are able to quickly familiarize themselves with the climatic and construction design constraints within the Nevadan climate. As a primer to the final project, this charette will not only reassess your awareness of designing in non-Canadian climates, but also asks that you to begin understanding the nuances of experiencing architectural spaces.
A noted academic and friend of several faculty members,
Julio Bermudez, from the Catholic University of America has written about spirituality and architecture. In fact several of his seminal publications are available from his website (link above) that may prove to be useful as you begin pondering your material palette, ambiance, and light play (among other factors) that contribute to a spiritual experience in your projects.
