Description
This is your challenge, design a piece of architecture that can be a potential development for you or your firm in the future. To showcase your design, you'll be creating a Listing Sheet that can be taken to a potential investor and used as a starting point for a future development.
The first step is to find a property that could be the site for a potential development. This can be a vacant site or a site that will need demolition. The point is to identify a piece of land that is underperforming and has opportunity.
Next, think about and analyze what type of development would serve that land well. Could it be a simple duplex? Perhaps a luxury private home or a mixed-use structure? It will all depend on the land you choose, what the context calls for, and what type of architecture you're passionate about.
Next, design a building that could be a potential development for that piece of land. How will you balance scale, aesthetics, and design with the practicalities of the building's role in the community?
