The assignment on hand was to look at case studies that architects, designers, and other professionals have done to get the sense of the mind set that we should have when working with clients goals needs and expectations. There was so much to look into that the overwhelming task of research alone was enough to make me focus on the simple idea of just one presented element. Adaptive re-use, specifically of late 19th century buildings and the contemporary solutions for the client. In researching the John Knox church I was able to look at the historical context and importance to the surrounding location as many had seen it for generations as a focal point of their town. This is a great example of the re-use of a building that proves not does one building stay alive for its original intended purpose but can support and revive as a new exciting solution for today's lifestyles. Take the time to look at my own work, thanks.
