Freight warehouse to architecture school: a representation of ideas in hardline, sketch, and text

Corwin, Scott O. January 1994 (has links)
The Freight Warehouse Architecture Studio is adjacent to Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.

The reading was the onset of the theory necessary for the study, and the experience in the office offered the opportunity to establish the direction for the project. The question of culture, understanding, and reading yields the question of the reconciliation of personal history and community history, how an architect intervenes in a location fraught with tradition. As a result, there is "a condition of a space evolving from within, not an insertion, from without....
