PLAYhouse

Student Work: Jonathan Warner & Christina Griggs

Instructors: Florencia Pita

AT: Alayna Davidson

Course Description

This studio will focus on ideas of ‘play’ as an entry into architectural language. We will develop a vocabulary of forms and materials that will unravel living spaces and landscapes embedded with color, texture and ornament.

The project for the studio will be the design of the Colburn School Campus Expansion, a multi-venue building with a concert hall, studio theater, and a cabaret-style space as well as classroom spaces, rehearsal and student housing. This program goes from the domestic scale of housing to the public sphere of music and theater venues. Because it is private and it is also exuberantly public, it is small and also large, it is the realm where the familiar and the extraordinary cohere.

The Victorian Mansion is returned to Bunker Hill and are ‘reused’ for a new life as PLAYhouse. Paint becomes building mass as well as decorative ornament blending analog mediums with digital ones.
